Hooded Peak (Dusk)

Here’s a view of the Hooded Peak with the sun a bit lower in the sky. I’m still experimenting with this one of course and I might replace it later today with an updated render. The Pickle Jar isn’t quite ready on DB 2.0 so I will just post these in the main gallery for now.

Members please let me know what you think via the comments 🙏🏼

Hooded Peak

I’ve always been something of a cloud nerd, and have long been fascinated by lenticular clouds. They form over mountaintops (and other areas) and often look like huge flying saucers. I am fairly certain I’ve never seen them depicted in a 3D landscape render before now.

I used Houdini here to create the cloud object, Gaea to create the mountain, and the whole scene is rendered in VUE. Multiscreen versions are still rendering.

This is sort of an experimental scene and I will probably do another version or two before I’m satisified. Let me know what you think!

Mother Night

You might recall that I used Houdini’s volumes to create the ice/rock formations in “Subglacial” and “Subterrane” which I then rendered in VUE. For this render I wanted to see if I could use those same volumes to create a nebula to use in the sky of a night scene. Again I used VUE to render the nebula but I think I’m about ready to start experimenting with Houdini’s renderer.

I hope you enjoy it and leave a comment to let me know your thoughts.

I also want to remind my Members who haven’t yet migrated their DB 1.0 accounts to DB 2.0 that you can log in and do so here. FYI! The iOS and Android apps still use the old DB 1.0 logins. I will post here when the apps have been updated to use the new logins. On the plus side, DB 2.0 looks a LOT better on mobile…
