Vaulted

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!

Moonbeam Sea

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?

Wallpaper Engine

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!

Rolling Ridges (Night)

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?

Rolling Ridges

Nothing too fancy here. Trying to create a sense of “land waves” receding to the horizon (and work on my cloud techniques). Also wanted to do a Vue landscape that could render in under 12 hours at 6K 🙂

Hope you enjoy it!
