Unlike most of my scenes, this one was planned as an animation from the start. Most of my scenes take at least an hour to render a single frame (and some take much much more). For this project I wanted each frame to take under 2 minutes to render so I’ve tried to keep things relatively simple. Figuring out how to animate the scene in a pleasing manner took much longer than setting up the still shot!
I rendered the animation at 3840 x 2160 but it appears I need some new software to encode a video at UHD. Stay tuned!

Can you spot the “plants” in my latest render? Hint: They aren’t your typical foliage.
This scene was basically a test to see if I could create rock formations using “The Plant Factory”. All the rock formations in the scene were created as plant objects.
The “plants” use bump displacement to create the ridges and were populated using Vue’s Ecosystems. I can foresee lots of interesting applications for this technique in the future 🙂
Let me know what you think!

I discovered that when I removed the ridges from “Rolling Ridges“, the result is a pretty cool cloudscape all on its own. Perhaps it should go in the Pickle Jar, but I thought it looked nice enough to feature in the gallery (at least temporarily).
Multiscreen versions will be available shortly. What do you think?

A lot of folks have asked if I could create animated content for Wallpaper Engine. It looks easy enough so I’ve added a “Wallpaper Engine” version of my “Dispersion” animation to Steam.
Here’s a demo…
If people seem to enjoy them perhaps I will make more. Let me know what you think!

Mere minutes after I posted Rolling Ridges the requests came in for a night version. I am always happy to oblige my Members 🙂
Let me know what you think! Do you usually prefer the day or night versions?
