Phyllotaxis

Here’s something colorful if you are getting tired of winter greys. This render is the result of my experimenting with Plant Factory to create interesting floral patterns. I rendered the scene using Vue but I think I might try a version with Lightwave so I can have a bit more control over the geometry. Let me know what you think!

Anima (Happy Valentine’s Day)

It’s been a while (8 years!) since I’ve attempted a Valentine’s Day wallpaper. My rule for them has always been this: Don’t make anything that I wouldn’t use myself. This project was one of those rare blessed instances where I had the finished image in mind before I started working on it. I hope you enjoy it!

Dapplewood (Winter)

I’d intended to create a winter version of “Dapplewood” before the Christmas holiday but got a bit sidetracked. I hope people are still in the mood for Winter wallpapers in February 🙂

Organelle

I finally upgraded my Lightwave to the 2018 version (after skipping the 2015 upgrade) earlier this month and a LOT is different. This render is a texturing exercise, inspired by re-rendering the original Organelle from 2002 for VR. The geometry here was modeled using The Plant Factory rather than Xfrog though. I still have a lot to learn but I thought I would share my progress…

Oceana

It’s been a while since I attempted an underwater render so I felt the time was ripe to dive back in. This time I wanted to use Plant Factory to create my undersea flora and fauna. I wasn’t trying to model any real life organisms here, but rather create something fanciful and colorful.

I’m not 100% happy with how everything turned out (after MANY days of rendering at 8K on Bucephalus) but I do think it looks nice enough to share while I consider revisions. Let me know what you think!
