• I’ve been working on a little search engine for the member’s gallery, so you can easily find the image you want without wading through all the gallery pages. It’s in beta mode now (I spent yesterday afternoon working on it), which means it’s ready for you to test out. It doesn’t do keyword searches (yet) so you’ll still have to know at least part of the image title (i.e. “Afterglow”, “Overlook 1999”, etc) in order to find anything. All the seasonal images are now included with the main member’s gallery and you can use the search engine to list them out by holiday (type “halloween”, for example, to get at all my halloween pics).

  Speaking of Halloween, I have done two additional halloween renders but I’m not quite ready to post them. They’ll probably be ready by tomorrow morning when I open my free halloween gallery to the public. Of course, I’ll preview them here first.

• I’ve added a directory of PNG versions of my 1600 x 1200 renders, for those who can’t stand even a little bit of JPG compression. Warning, these files are LARGE. The directory index can be found here. The files are large, but they’re way smaller than BMP versions. You may, however, need special software to view the images if your browser doesn’t support the PNG format. Netscape users will have to download the ZIP versions of the files.
