Shallows (Night)

Shallows (Night)

Haven’t decided if this one is going to be featured in the gallery or stay in the Pickle Jar. I wanted to create a night version of “Shallows” but the challenge was to add a bit of light somewhere for contrast. Here I chose simply to illuminate the central lily, sort of like I did for Pot of Gold (Night), but in a much simpler way this time (since the bloom is not the central focus of the scene).

Let me know in the comments if you think this one should be featured in the gallery or stay in the Pickle Jar!

When I created “Shallows” last week I also created an unseen shoreline with trees in the background. This was so the water would have some reflections but also to create a some shadows across the pond.

For this scene I’ve panned the camera up and filled in those background details. You will notice the frog is still sitting on his lily pad in the foreground.

I hope you enjoy it!

Jessie requested earlier this week that my next piece not involve clouds. Ok, I get the hint 😄

This render is an update to a piece I created way back in 2000 using World Builder. I used VUE this time around and I think the ray-tracing makes all the difference. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Here’s another version of “Jovian” rendered using a different atmospheric scattering model. Some folks felt the first version looked more like a space nebula than a planetscape so I went a different direction with this render.

Which version do you prefer??

Ever since I discovered that Houdini could help me create custom clouds for my VUE scenes I’ve been fascinated with the idea. The cloud engine built into VUE is powerful but seems primitive compared to what Houdini is capable of. VUE’s clouds also take about 4x longer to render making experimentation difficult.

For this scene I’ve gone back to an idea I had back in 2000 to depict a stormy gas giant from the cloudtop level. I hope you enjoy the update!
