Mistwood Fen

We recently returned from visiting Jessie’s family in beautiful Little Rock, Arkansas. Her brother’s family lives by a pond and we all walked over one afternoon so the boys could go fishing. While they fished I wandered off and noticed this bright white bird (some sort of heron) standing in red watergrass against a green background.

I thought it was a striking scene so I snapped a mental picture of it for later. I hope you like my version.

Thanks to my son Jason for helping me think of a proper title!

The Distant Lights

Before I move on to something brand new I thought it would be worthwhile to create a night version of “The One Light“.

Gallery or Pickle Jar? Let me know what you think!

The One Light

Looking through my creations this year it occurred to me that (with some exceptions) the colors have been rather muted. With this render I just wanted to create something colorful and minimal that would make for a nice background. I thought about adding something in the foreground but I think it stands pretty well on its own.

I’d considered “Morning Has Broken” for the title, but since the sun is still below the horizon here (thanks to Vue’s “spherical scene” mode) I chose another line from the hymn instead.

Let me know what you think!

A Sliver of Sun

Following on the Cascadia theme I decided to reposition the camera in that world and take a closer look. Unfortunately I found the terrain geometry, which looked great from far away, sort of broke down a bit when zoomed in so I added some higher resolution rock formations created in Oculus Medium.

Cascadia (Summer)

Not sure why I started out “Cascadia” as a winter scene (other than the fact that I wanted to try something a bit different) but I had always planned on doing at least one more seasonal variant.

Here’s the “summer” version. I’d considered using the same light angle from the Winter version but I think this turned out pretty well.
