• I was messing around with Twitter last week, wanting to update my Avatar, and I decided to open up Lightwave and render “Fluorescence” in the size I needed. Well, I started playing around with the scene and made a couple of tweaks. One thing lead to another and I ended up doing making quite a few changes. The result is now up on the new images page.

  I didn’t change the mushrooms themselves, though I did play around with them in Zbrush. I decided that I liked the original geometry. The ground is new though and I’ve added some volumetric /dof effects which may or may not be controversial 😉

  Anyway, I know this image is a favorite of a lot of people and is probably my most well known piece. I don’t take changing it lightly. I hope you all enjoy the updated version, and if you don’t then remember that the previous versions aren’t going anywhere.
