Ten years ago this morning my life changed forever. To be honest I can barely remember life before I became a Dad. What I do know is that I could not be more proud of how Ian has turned out so far.

To my Members I want to say a special “Thank You” for allowing me to be a “stay-at-home Dad” for these past 10 years. Those times weren’t always easy, but I wouldn’t trade the memories for anything.

Happy 10th Birthday Ian!!

PS: I’ve posted a new work-in-progress for my Members to check out. Hope to have it ready sometime this week!

Asfaloth has been busy rendering the multiscreen version of “Cave of Arches” for the past few days and I have another new project rendering on Bucephalus. Fortunately my old Macbook Pro is back in the mix with a new logic board from the nice folks at the Apple Store so I can still do a little bit of art!

“Waveform” is my first project built and rendered on the rebuilt MBP (which I have decided to name “Silver”). The geometry was modeled using Structure Synth (the same program I used for “Synthestructure“) and the scene was rendered using Lightwave 11.6.

This piece follows the same “techno-abstract” theme that spawned “Automata“. This piece is a little less complicated though. I hope you like it!!

Update!

Here is the multiscreen version of “Cave of Arches” for my dual and triple-screen users. I hope you enjoy it!!

I’ve added a night version of “Festival of Dragons” to the Pickle Jar this morning. Quite a few Members requested that I try a darker version so I thought I would give it a shot. Of course, night time in a cave presents some special lighting challenges so I hope you don’t mind some of the liberties I took 😉

Which version do you prefer?

In other news, I received a set of photos this morning from a fan who had been working on a Minecraft version of “Temple of the Leaf” with her boyfriend. He mysteriously took their server offline briefly to set up a little surprise for her…

Congrats Amy and Heath and thanks for sharing!

Added “Automata” to the Members Gallery this morning. I created this piece as part of a possible corporate partnership with a large semi-conductor company. They asked that I put together some technology oriented images for use on large multi-monitor displays and this is my first salvo in that effort.

Dual and triple-screen versions are available!

Even if they decide this piece doesn’t work for their campaign I think it deserves a place in the gallery. I modeled the structures using “Structure Synth“. The textures are all Lightwave procedurals and it was rendered using Fprime.

It was certainly fun to make!
