Stasis

This one is a 3D doodle of sorts; working on different shaders in Vue and modeling in Plant Factory. The techniques I’m working on here will factor into at least the next two renders that I post. As for this one, it may or may not stay in the gallery long term.

Thought it looked interesting enough to share though:-)

Nightshade

I created these blooms using The Plant Factory for an upcoming landscape project. I thought they would make an interesting Lightwave macro render however. When I showed it to Jessie the first thing she said was “oooh Nightshade!” and that sounded like a great title to me. It’s not your garden variety that’s for certain! Stay tuned for the landscape (rendering now on Shadowfax)!

Painted Sky (Night)

The original “Painted Sky” from last year sits at #2 on my all-time Top Rated list so it seemed natural to create a night-time scene. My night version dials back some of the clouds which gave the original its title but I think it still works. I hope you enjoy it at least as much as a “day” version!

Strathwood (Winter)

Since I created “Strathwood” to render relatively quickly I can be a bit more nimble with making variations. I thought it would be fun to create a winter version but also at the same time have it be a little more colorful than the mostly earth-toned original. Let me know what you think!

Erebus

Glad to finally be able to post this one! The Vue scene took so long to render that I feared that Shadowfax had hung more than once. It actually did crash one time and I had to restart the whole thing. Regardless, I persisted and I’m happy to be able to share it with you. I used Lightwave 2018’s new texturing model for the background planet. Hopefully it was worth the wait.

The scene will need a major rework if I am going to be able to produce multiscreen versions however. The whole thing is set up for 360 rendering but we shall see.
