I had so much fun dusting my poinsettia with 3D snow that I thought it might be worthwhile to revisit my venerable mushrooms. I hope you like the update! Check out the rest of my Christmas collection here.

I had planned to completely update my 10 year old (!) Poinsettia scene with snowfall using Vue d’Esprit, but the render was taking far too long. When it started looking like it wouldn’t be ready for Christmas I decided to use Lightwave and modify my existing model instead. Maybe someday I will finish the Vue render…

I read recently that there are lakes underneath Iceland’s glaciers due to volcanic activity in the area. My imagination was stoked and I set about creating my own fanciful version of what such a place might look like. The result is “Fire Below Ice” which is new this morning in the Members Gallery. It continues the icy motif that I’ve been following this December.

This is one of two projects that I’ve been working on this week. The other is a Christmas theme which is rendering right now on Bucephalus. Hopefully it will be ready to post soon. Members looking for a bit of holiday cheer should peruse my Christmas gallery in the meantime!

While Bucephalus chugged away rendering the snowy version of my Black Angel, I was inspired to create a new version of my “Traveller” scene from last year. I’ve moved the icy moon in much closer to the planet, added a fiery moon in the foreground and some sublimating watervapor from the new sunlight angle.

Let me know if you think this one deserves its own spot in the gallery or if it should just be a Pickle Jar entry.

Here’s a nice little minimalistic wallpaper I put together while relearning how to create 3D fractals using Mandelbulber. Expect a few other, perhaps less minimalistic, versions in the days ahead as my knowledge expands.
