Jelly (Glow)

I know a lot of folks prefer darker wallpapers so here’s my jellyfish at night complete with bioluminescence.

Jelly (2021)

I recently “re-discovered” a Plant Factory project I started, but abandoned, way back in 2016. My goal then was to use PF to create a jelly fish akin to the ones I have created in Lightwave. If I were starting this project from scratch today I would have used Blender but I stuck with VUE this time because it’s easier to edit Plant Factory models. It’s nice to finally “finish” this one 🙂

Hideaway (Noon)

I’ve rendered a high noon version of “Hideaway” to complete the set. The whole exercise was to experiment with lighting these new cloud models and I think I’ve learned quite a bit. Which is your favorite??

Hideaway (Moonlight)

As I mentioned before, I did plan on doing a night version of this scene. Decided not to put any crazy planets in the sky here because the main theme of this project was learning how to light these new cloud types in different conditions. I could possibly render one more day time view just to complete the set…

Hideaway (Sunrise)

It occurred to me that the best way to learn how to light these new cloud models is to make a few different versions of “Hideaway”. I know some folks thought the first version was a little too dim so hopefully this will work better.

I will probably also do a night version next before moving on 🙂

Also check this out this amazing visitor to my bird feeder earlier this week (stay for the end if you want to see him fly away)…
