The One Light

Looking through my creations this year it occurred to me that (with some exceptions) the colors have been rather muted. With this render I just wanted to create something colorful and minimal that would make for a nice background. I thought about adding something in the foreground but I think it stands pretty well on its own.

I’d considered “Morning Has Broken” for the title, but since the sun is still below the horizon here (thanks to Vue’s “spherical scene” mode) I chose another line from the hymn instead.

Let me know what you think!

A Sliver of Sun

Following on the Cascadia theme I decided to reposition the camera in that world and take a closer look. Unfortunately I found the terrain geometry, which looked great from far away, sort of broke down a bit when zoomed in so I added some higher resolution rock formations created in Oculus Medium.

Cascadia (Summer)

Not sure why I started out “Cascadia” as a winter scene (other than the fact that I wanted to try something a bit different) but I had always planned on doing at least one more seasonal variant.

Here’s the “summer” version. I’d considered using the same light angle from the Winter version but I think this turned out pretty well.

Blue Hollow

Another experiment using Oculus Medium to create rock formations. I really think VR is the way of the future (at least for me) when it comes to modeling. So much more intuitive…

Cascadia

Getting back into learning how to use World Machine/Geoglyph here. For a while it was a bit too buggy to use but the recent versions have been nice and stable. Should I do a summer variant?

I’ve also added a 3D 360 Panoramic version for those of you with a VR headset (preview here).
