A New Home for DB
Things might not look too different but if you are reading this page then my site is being hosted by a different company for the first time in 20 years. My old host charged too much compared to what other companies were offering. You can’t say I wasn’t loyal.
My new server should be powerful enough and have plenty of bandwidth, but unfortunately I’ve had to temporarily shut down my credit card forms because my merchant bank also hasn’t been upgrading my service with the times. It’s a long story, but they have me on a new service that will prove stronger for DB 2.0 (which is coming soon!!) but doesn’t work that well for DB 1.0.
You can still support my work using PayPal for the time being and I will work to get some other options available if the new site isn’t active before too long.
There may be a gremlin or two still hiding in the old site from the move so let me know if you find anything glaring. I think you will like what Cris and I are working on for the future though. It will be a far easier site both for me to run and for you to navigate.

Pageantry
Multi-Screen Render
Autumn scenes are some of my favorites. The season is a lot different in the mountains than the Midwestern season I am used to and, tbh, I don’t have a whole lot of experience with it. This is my fanciful version then created as a Midwesterner might imagine it 🙂

Above All
Multi-Screen Render
After posting “Substellar” more than one of my Members requested that I create something without a “central focus” that would usable as a background for virtual meetings. I’ve needed to really figure out cloud sculpting in VUE so this seemed like a good excuse.
This piece is an experiment along those lines. I honestly don’t do a lot of virtual meetings so please let me know what sorts of things you look for in a good meeting background! Also be sure to check out my looping animations if you are interested….

Substellar
Multi-Screen Render
The term “brown dwarf” doesn’t sound all that evocative but they are fascinating celestial objects. Much larger than planets but not big enough for full stellar fusion. They are thought to fuse deuterium through which they shine with their own dim light.
I actually started this project in Blender as a learning exercise but I already have a pretty good gas planet workflow in Lightwave so I went back to that for this one. I do plan on migrating more of my non-Vue rendering to Blender and other programs because the future of LW is uncertain.
Calendar Sale!
If you were planning on picking up one of my calendars this year then now’s a great time. They are 50% off until 9/15 (code: SEPTBIZPICKS). The 2021 calendar contains all new images while the other calendars follow a certain theme…
