Digital Blasphemy | 3D Wallpaper

Posted on September 4, 2021

I know this probably won’t interest the majority of you, but after months of consideration I’ve minted my first NFT on Foundation.

Important: NFT sales will not effect the availability of my images in the Members Gallery. I retain all copyrights!

Folks have been asking me to jump into this for a long time and I simply can no longer ignore the market. It wasn’t easy picking a render to lead off with but I think I found a nice one. “Dispersion” is of my favorites actually 🙂

I don’t intend to send out emails or make a lot of constant noise on DB about these so I hope you will follow me on Foundation if you are interested futher. Whether or not I add more NFTs will depend on if how well this one does. It cost me quite a bit just to list it so I am hoping for the best!!

I know NFTs are a bit controversial and I hope I don’t anger too many of you by getting to this field. If hundreds of people were signing up as Members every day I probably wouldn’t try it but selling wallpapers online has always been a difficult (but fun) business model. If you guys want DB to stick around another 20 years then NFTs are part of the equation. Thanks for understanding!

I honestly wasn’t sure how to price this so I aimed low to test the waters. LMK if you have any questions!

Lupine Vale

As promised, here’s the daylit version of “Lupine Vale” that I created last week. In this case I thought it might be interesting to show the night version first so I went ahead and created one and posted it over the weekend. I know a lot of folks were looking for wolves in the night version but the title actually refers to the species of wildflower in the foreground 🙂

They don’t stand out quite as much in the night version but I knew I wanted to use this title. Sorry for the confusion!

I hope you enjoy them both!!

Lupine Vale (Night)

While building “Springwalk” a few weeks ago I tried a few different types of flowers in the undergrowth. One of them was a beautiful lupine species included in the “Plant Catalog” that comes with VUE Enterprise. It didn’t work for that scene but I knew I wanted to do another using it soon.

I’ve created and rendered the daylight version of this scene already (and Jessie has told me it’s very pretty). Before I posted it though I decided I would go ahead and create a night version and show you that first just to shake things up a bit.

Enjoy and please let me know what you think!

Metallurgy

Apologies to all the trypophobes out there. I created this one in Blender while exploring the same techniques I used to create “Fabrica“. If it looks sort of familiar that’s because I used some of the minimal surface geometry I created for “Acumen” as the framework.

Regarding the title: I wracked my brain for a decent one for a good 24 hours. It’s always the last step before I post a render. I showed it to Jessie and she had it figured out in about a minute :-D. Teamwork!!

Springwalk

The fourth and final entry in my “Walk” seasonal series. I’d considered waiting and creating/releasing these during the seasons represented but decided against it. I hope you guys aren’t getting weary of them.

As for this spring version, after returning from our family road trip I created a spring render with green leaves rather quickly. After finishing it I decided to try a version with small purple blooms and I felt that one better represented the season. I will share the first version eventually though 🙂

I hope you enjoy this render and the entire series!
