• I should have a new render ready to post sometime towards this end of this week. This one is going to take a little more time due to the amount of modeling required. I won’t divulge the theme now, besides to say that it has been oft requested. Stay tuned!

• I’ve added one last render of “Campfires” to the PickleJar, depicting the Earth and Moon.

• I’ve posted two brief animations based on the new “Campfires”. You can find them both in the PickleJar.

• I’ve posted an updated render of “Campfires” on the new images page. The first version was done in Bryce using some low-res maps. That image looks terrible on my bright monitor. The second version was done using Lightwave, but I used procedurals instead of Earth maps so the planet looked rather alien. I think the latest render is truer to what I was aiming for in the original.

  My newest version uses hi-res maps from NASA and a few new Lightwave tricks that I’ve learned since last time. I may use this model to re-do “F=MA” sometime in the future (and try some other ideas), but for now I hope you’ll enjoy this more peaceful view.

  I’ve uploaded two extra versions in the PickleJar. One features Europe and Africa and the other depicts Asia and Australia.

• My newest render, entitled “Ovum” is now up on the new images page. Having used my artwork to explore outer space and the world around us, now I wish to turn inward. I think there is an incredible, alien, beauty to be found in the microscopic world (though I’m not sure “beauty” is the right word to describe “Ovum”). I hope to explore further as the year goes on. Anyway, I hope you like this latest render (Jessie gave it neither a “Ooooh” nor a “Mmmmmm”, but a “Whoa!”). If you have comments or suggestions please send them in.
