Digital Blasphemy | 3D Wallpaper

One of the byproducts of being laid up for weeks is that I’ve had a lot of time to watch TV (something I really didn’t do that much before the surgery). A lot of “Good Eats”, “Modern Marvels”, and old movies on TCM. One of these old movies was “The Searchers” (watched this one on Blu-Ray) and it provided the inspiration for my latest wallpaper.
The wallpaper is called “Desert Dawn” and it is now up for your review. I would have had it up a couple of days ago but I decided at the last minute to change up the atmosphere. I version I settled on is up on the new images page, and the first version is available in the Pickle Jar. Which do you prefer?
Either way, I hope you enjoy them. It looks like Zazzle is offering 50% off all poster prints. If you’ve been waiting to purchase one now might be the right time. Just enter the code “ZAZZLEPOSTER” at checkout to apply the discount.
- Lastly, I wanted to mention (in case you hadn’t looked at my blog) that I trying to sell one of my Quadro video cards. If you are in need of a high-powered worksation class 3D card for (relatively) cheap let me know. See my blog post for more details.

Just an update: Everything is going well healthwise (thanks everyone for asking) and I’m almost all healed up. I’ve been working on a new project now for the past 4 or 5 days and it’s coming along nicely. I hope to have something up in a day or two.
Anyone interested in more frequent updates on my progress (and sometimes other random thoughts) is welcome to “follow” my new Digital Blasphemy Twitter feed. If you don’t want to sign up for Twitter itself you can read the updates in a box to the right.

I’ve added dual and triple screen versions of “Phraxis” to the gallery this morning. I tried something different with the dual-screen version (splitting the planet between two screens instead of forcing everything onto one side) and I hope it works out.
I’m not ruling out using this planet for a future landscape image (as I mentioned trying out in my previous post) but I think the planetscape will stand as is.

Lately I’ve been experimenting with Apophysis, the freeware flame fractal program, and trying to integrate the fractals into my 3d work. The comet in “Harbinger” is one example. My latest render, a planetscape I call “Phraxis“, continues these experiments.
I would have had this one up a few days ago, but I did some attempts at using this scene as a backdrop for a Vue d’Esprit landscape render. I wasn’t happy with any of the results so I’ve posted it as a pure space scene. I may play around with it some more in Vue, but I thought the scene itself made a nice enough wallpaper so here it is. I hope you enjoy it!

- By request I’ve added 640 x 480 images (designed to fit the G1) to the Mobile Resolutions. A zip file is also available. I had actually prepared these files for my “Gallery-at-a-Glance” page, but it turns out they also have use as a mobile device resolution. Happy Valentine’s Day!
