Nimbus (Moonlight)

Multi-Screen Render

This moonlit version of Nimbus is, in my opinion, a bit more relaxing to look at than the sunlit version. It’s good to have options though and I hope you find one to suit your mood 🙂

Non-watermarked lossless 8K version available to Lifetime Supporters and Plus Level Members (and above). Dual and triple-screen versions are rendering now!

Nimbus

Multi-Screen Render

I stepped away from rendering for a good week or so during the holidays to have a nice little staycation with the family. Basically a lot of video games and Jason introduced me to “Rick and Morty” (!).

I’d intended to get back to work when the kids and Jessie went back to school (which is today). However, I wasn’t able to stick to that and started working on this new project late last week using Vue.

I hope you enjoy it!

Happy New Year!!

I hope you all had a wonderful 2019 and have a happy 2020 to come. I’d like to thank my Members for sticking with me this year and for however many years you have been with me. I honestly could not have produced this gallery without you.

What am I planning for 2020? I would like to move DB from my rather expensive Rackspace plan to something a bit less expensive. I have a few options in mind, but I don’t want to simply move the site. I want to replace it with something modern.

I haven’t decided if I am going to hire someone for this, or ask for volunteers. If anyone out there is interested in helping me with this please send a PM.

You may remember that I’d mentioned we were looking at a $2000/month health insurance bill. Fortunately we’ve been able to halve that since Jessica started working as a teacher’s assistant (Spec Ed) at Ian’s high school this fall. The job doesn’t pay a lot (especially after $1000/mo is deducted for the health plan) but she loves the work 🙂

Which leads me to an uncomfortable, but necessary announcement. The price for the basic yearly Memberships will be going up $5 in 2020. Auto-renewing Memberships will be $25/yr and auto-expiring will be $30/yr. The Plus Membership price will remain the same.

IMPORTANT: If you are already on a yearly plan YOUR PRICE WILL NOT CHANGE unless there is a disruption in your yearly payments and your account is auto-expired!

I haven’t given myself a raise of any kind since 1999 and it was starting to show in my finances. Thanks everyone for understanding!

If you would like to help with Project Rochallor or would just like to help me out with a year-end bonus please visit my Tip Jar.

Thanks again everyone for supporting my work and my family. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to answer them.

The Ride (2019)

Multi-Screen Render

One of my Members (“John”) commented on Hinterland that he could imagine it being a new version of “The Ride“. Great idea John! I was going to do a night version anyway but I think it evokes the very first Ride nicely. I hope you enjoy it!!

Have I mentioned that I would love to replace Bucephalus with something new??

Hinterland

Multi-Screen Render

I’ve been learning how to use Unreal Engine for the past couple of weeks. Early on I used Vue to create a “skybox” for an Unreal scene. The Unreal scene didn’t really turn out (I’m still learning) but I decided to flesh out the skybox scene in Vue and render it. I hope you like it!
