2008 (part 3)

Clouds was a little exercise rendering volumetric clouds. This is always very cpu demanding so i had to tweak these until i got the right balance between quality and speed. You can click on the example on the right and see the untouched render.

The rest of the year we had a cool halloween image featuring an old michael4 with the scary Scraac tree created by Dinoraul. There is a nice futuristic theme courtesy of Stonemason which i called network. So good that the folks at daz3d selected it for their galleries.

Last but not least i created a big epic scene in a castle with a dragon. the fire/flames were created in photoshop. Not the extra wide dimension of the final render. This had to be done to include those massive wings!

..and i included an unfinished piece which i called mecha. Not sure where i was going with this but i was trying to do some sort of fluid metal. Enjoy.
