Continued tinkering with the shading on my “Catalyst” render and came up with something I liked better. It’s a bit brighter but I felt like the original was maybe a bit too dark in places. I added a bit more light to the central area and made the surrounding structure transparent such that the light propagates through it. Can safely say that, given the time it took to render ...

Continuing my exploration of using Cinema4D’s particle system to create geometry. I used it with “Tendrils” to create something quasi-organic but here I wanted to go in the opposite direction. Trying also create something where you can imagine motion without it actually being animated. Allow me to thank everyone one again for “Tiamat” because the new machine makes it so much ...

Thought it would be fun to create a few different color variations of my new “Tendrils” scene. Included as a blue green “ocean” theme, a reddish “rouge” theme and a dark blue “midnight” theme. I still prefer the original myself (for now anyway) but I have the new ones featured in the gallery for a bit until I move them to the Pickle Jar. Let me know which your prefer!

Happy Sunday! Lately I’ve been learning how to use Cinema4D’s particle system and “tracer” to create branching geometry. I can foresee many cool applications but my initial experiments yielded this update to “Tendrils” from 2003. Going to continue my explorations (using different forces to influence the particles) but I thought this simple scene looked nice enough to share.

Here’s another version of “Opaline Hollow“. I’ve toned down the sunlight this time so you might say it’s a bit of a night version. I’ve also added a bit of artificial light to the cavern to provide a bit of contrast. The water reflections should be a bit clearer too. Which version do you prefer? Undecided if I will leave them both in the gallery.
