Autumn Palette

This one is another Plant Factory experiment where I am attempting to vary the coloring of my leaves per individual tree. Most Vue plants have one leaf color (and thus look unconvincing in autumn renders) but here I’ve created a tree with five different color “zones” . The bottom leaves are purplish, red above that, then orange, then yellow and green at the tops. The Vue scene is a test of sorts to see how they look together in a “natural” setting.

Basically it’s a doodle of sorts, but I thought it looked nice enough to share. Let me know what you think!

Gateway

Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet lately around here. I’ve actually had my head down working on several brand new renders and finally one of them is ready to share…

I’ve long been fascinated by “portals” and they have often figured prominently in my work. For this scene I used The Plant Factory to model the “gateway” and then used my “Core World” render as the “destination”.

Skygate (Night)

Since I used a pre-rendered cloud background for both the Spring and Autumn “Skygate” renders, it seemed like a no-brainer to use my “Moonbeam Sea” render as the background for a night version. I pretty much just wanted the foreground to be a silhouette here so the darkness is intentional 😉

Skygate (Autumn)

Sometimes my “seasonal variations” are afterthoughts, but I created “Skygate (Spring)” with the intention of rendering one or two (maybe three) different seasonal versions down the road. I’ve added the “Autumn” installment to the gallery today. The sun angle is a bit lower, the clouds a bit darker, and I’ve added some seasonal flora (including a new thistle model that I created in TPF) to the foreground.

Endpoint (Portal)

While I wait for the multiscreen version of “Endpoint” to finish rendering I thought I might share the Lightwave render I used for the celestial phenomenon. I rendered this specifically as a “background” object so it’s fairly barebones. It still might make for an interesting wallpaper though. Let me know what you think!
