Pantheon

Multi-Screen Render

I created a number of different planetoids for my recent work and this render collects them all together for a family picture. Whenever I create an astronomical objects (planet, nebula, galaxy, etc) I am always conflicted about whether to present it by itself or as viewed “from the ground”. Usually both yield interesting results. This one is for the “space only” folks 🙂

I hope you enjoy it and stay safe, smart and healthy!

Thanks to everyone who’s purchased a face mask from my new store! Quite a few of you asked I could also offer jigsaw puzzles so here are some which I thought might provide a challenge. 30% off today…

Park Place

Multi-Screen Render

In Boardwalk I used my Plant Factory software to create an abstract walkway. I thought it would be interesting to tame the concept a little and use it to create something familiar and relaxing. Of course the title is inspired by the game Monopoly and the connection between the two dark blue properties (which my older brother always seemed to own).

I hope you enjoy it and stay safe, smart and healthy!

Speaking of healthy… Zazzle started offering face masks a few days ago so I thought I would try out a few designs. They’ve been quite popular so I’ve added some others by request. The store is now up to 50 designs so please have a look. Unfortunately the store seemed to be US only at this point (sorry!!)

Cloud Canyon (2020)

Multi-Screen Render

I’ve wanted to revisit “Cloud Canyon” from 2007 for a quite a while now. It seemed like a job made for Gaea so I took a stab at it. I chose to frame the single-screen a bit differently than the original but the multiscreen version should look familiar.

I hope you enjoy it and stay safe, smart and healthy!

Skyline (Day)

Multi-Screen Render

By request I’ve created a day version of Skyline. As with the first version I stuck with the building textures that came with the Kitbash models but I changed up the windows a bit. You will most likely see these buildings in future renders, but they won’t look like this again.

They gave the meshes away for free (they normally cost $200) to spread maximum joy and in that spirit I am happy to offer a free version for everyone to download. That said, DB needs your support now more than ever.

The nice folks at Kitbash also asked that everyone who uses the meshes include the hashtag #brightartdarktimes. How do you guys feel about me using their products in the future?

Skyline

Multi-Screen Render

A company I follow called “Kitbash3D” recently released one of their object sets for free with the stipulation that the meshes be used to create optimistic artwork to bring hope to people in these uncertain times.

I have never used their products but I thought it would be a good way to create something hopeful, optimistic artwork relatively quickly which seems to be what the current situation requires. For this reason I didn’t really do much of any editing or changes to their meshes other than to apply my own window lights.
