Skygate (Autumn)

Sometimes my “seasonal variations” are afterthoughts, but I created “Skygate (Spring)” with the intention of rendering one or two (maybe three) different seasonal versions down the road. I’ve added the “Autumn” installment to the gallery today. The sun angle is a bit lower, the clouds a bit darker, and I’ve added some seasonal flora (including a new thistle model that I created in TPF) to the foreground.

Endpoint (Portal)

While I wait for the multiscreen version of “Endpoint” to finish rendering I thought I might share the Lightwave render I used for the celestial phenomenon. I rendered this specifically as a “background” object so it’s fairly barebones. It still might make for an interesting wallpaper though. Let me know what you think!

Endpoint

I created the “wormhole-like” structure using Lightwave’s Hypervoxels. Rendered at 9600 x 9600 (in only 3 hours!) and then used that as a planet object in Vue d’Esprit. The foreground is populated using a variation on the alien vegetation I’ve been working on all year.

Dapplewood (Autumn) Updated

Quite a few of my Members suggested that maybe the sunbeams in my first version of “Dapplewood (Autumn)” were a bit too overwhelming. I tried out a test version with more subdued haze it did indeed look better. I’ve replaced the first version in my gallery (it’s still available in the Pickle Jar) so let me know what you think. Dual and triple-screen versions coming shortly!

One of the fun parts of creating a deciduous forest is seeing how it changes through the different seasons. Here’s a look at my Dapplewood scene with the leaves nearing their peak.
