I re-rendered this one 9 times before finally getting
the effect I was looking for. All between 2 and 17 hours each, I feel I
may be getting too critical.
Here's a striking wallpaper you can have a ball
with in your spare time. (I couldn't pin down what I
wanted to say about this turkey, wrong frame of mind I
guess.)
I made this long before the movie Shrek came out, unless they borrowed from me, it
is coincidence that the character in the movie and this cookie are so similar.
It was tough trying to find how the guns fire on the
Mustang. I found an old flight training manual for the plane that said
the guns fire simultaneously so that the push on the plane is even. The
bombers are in a Group Javelin Down formation, the differences in altitude
make them appear out of place.
I like this one on my desktop, the windows open like
they are part of the scene. This image holds the record for crashing my
computer, the mushrooms had a few too many polygons.
I found a great piano mesh at 3D-Cafe,
it was a lot of fun to play around with. It didn't have a bench, but the
legs were so simple to match I just stacked primitive shapes.
I used a grenade in the "Improvised Robotic
Device" image, but it was a bit low res for it's own stand alone
image, so this one was created nearly from scratch. it's a M26
fragmentation grenade.
Coder's should appreciate this one, When learning a new
programming language, one of the first things you learn is how to output
"Hello World." Which seemed appropriate, since this is my
first creation with Vue 5.
Fire! Fire! Hmm, is this an object, or abstract? It's
one of those topics that could be either. I'll put it in both sections
to make it easier to find.
Happy Halloween! The pumpkin is a sphere
multi-replicated in a circle, then stretched vertically in Bryce. Negative Boolean objects were used to 'cut' the openings.
This was originally supposed to be raw precious stones,
but everyone seems to think they look like ice or jelly. Don't judge by the thumbnail,
they do look cool on a desktop.
This one has been sitting unfinished for a year, because
the gray blast wave didn't like mixing with the fire, and kept crashing
the computer. I figured out it would render once per loading of the
image, only crashing the second attempt. So I reloaded after each test
render, which let me finish.
I planned on having a small object sit on the newspaper
I had been working on, and put the sphere there as a place holder. I
loved the reflections and refractions so much, I had to use it as is.
Late 1800's/early 1900's stock ticker. Stock tickers
used to be used as symbols of success. I created the model from scratch,
so I will definitely use it again, to make up for the time it took to
make.
A cube Escher would appreciate. I would like to make my
little triangle you see when you save a link to VP on your desktop from
Internet Explorer, but I can't trick Bryce into that illusion.
I frame many of my images with a tree in the foreground,
and since the primary use of the image is wallpaper, and majority of
users icons run along the left side, I put the trees on the left.
A still life arrangement of Poppies, I expected this to
render without the difficulty of some of my more complex images, but it
turns out the hairy stems using complex displacement maps to create the
hair, never rendered he way the preview versions did.
A tank fires a sabot enclosed round. The large file size
is due to the detail in the grass and leaves. Large smooth areas of
color compress more in Jpeg format.
At first you may mistake this for a photograph. So I am
mentioning it here, so I don't repeat where magazines license the image,
then change their mind when they realize it's not.
