Orthohedron

Posted on November 12, 2023

Reimagining one of my old Lightwave favorites from my abstracts collection, “Orthohedron” from 2004.     I used Cinema4D/Redshift for the rendering this time and Plant Factory for the modeling. Added a bit more color to this version.

I hope you enjoy it!

Stillwater (Winter)

Posted on November 8, 2023

I’ve done Autumn and Summer versions of “Stillwater” so I’m sure some of you were anticipating the Winter scene.     I’ve found there’s a pretty short window of time when people are receptive to Winter scenes though so I decided to wait until November to add this one to my gallery.    Oddly enough though I worked on this piece back in August when I needed one more Winter scene for my 2024 Calendar.

Glad I can finally share it with you all. You will find an alternate version without the flying snow and frozen lake in the Pickle Jar.

I hope you enjoy it and the whole Stillwater series.

The Gulf of Dreams

Shortly after sharing “Proxima” with you all I got to work adapting the Cinema4D skills I’d learned there to creating a galaxy.   It took a quite a bit of experimentation to come up with something I liked but, again, I learned a great deal about Cinema4D in the process.   Since this software costs me over $1,200 per year I feel like learning to use it properly is a major priority for me 😄

I hope you enjoy it and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

Proxima (Black)

I thought it would be fun to do a color variation or two of “Proxima“.   Here’s a “night” version in black and gold.   Dedicated to my alma mater 🙂

I will probably move it to the Pickle Jar at some point but it’s in the gallery for the time being.

Proxima

Back to learning how to use Cinema4D here.   I have a specific astronomical scene in mind but I have to figure out how to model it first.   This colorful scene is a stepping stone towards that goal and I thought it looked nice enough to add to my abstract gallery. I hope you enjoy it!!
