My forest home gallery

Posted on November 2, 2006 Added “Nanocyte” to the gallery this evening. I had a little trouble deciding which gallery this should go in, but in the end felt it should go with the abstracts. What is it? I have my idea. You are welcome to come up with your own. One thing for sure, this was the first image I’ve done which pushed my new workstation beyond what my old one was capable of (it required move than 2.5 GB of RAM for Lightwave 9 to render it). I realize it might be a little too funky to use as a wallpaper for those of you used to “Reverie’s” and “Sakura’s”, but it was a fun exercise for me.Landscape lovers should be happy in the weeks to come. The fine folks at E-onsoftware finally came out with Vue d’Esprit 6 and I purchased (and downloaded) my “pre-release” copy last night. I’ve only had the chance to open it up a couple of times and briefly look around, but it definitely looks like it was worth the wait. Stay tuned! Posted on October 27, 2006 My 2007 wall calendars are now available. This year I am offering an oversize 11″ x 17″ calendar (created with ultra hi-res renders) for the first time. Both calendars have the same images, all created since November 2005. Posted on October 26, 2006 I’ve added dual and triple screen versions of “Forest of the Shades”. Posted on October 23, 2006 I mentioned last time that my next wallpaper would be a Halloween theme. A few of you wrote me asking that I update one of my old designs, but instead I decided to try something new. The wallpaper, “Forest of the Shades”, is now up on the new images page. I have included a “Shadeless”

Giantswood Posted on March 12, 2025 My Mom has given me a Sierra Club wall calendar for Christmas going back at least 15 years and I walk by it daily (I give her a DB calendar). I’m often inspired by the amazing photos on display and this month features a photo of redwoods. I started out trying to create something similar to the photo but (as often happens) I diverged and went my own way. Hope you enjoy it!! Ephemeris (Nebula) Posted on March 11, 2025 Here’s the background nebula I created for “Ephemeris” in Blender. As I mentioned before, you can use Blender to create static volumetric spaces that you can explore with the camera. The nebulae I’d created in Cinema4D required generating an animated volume that you then froze at a certain point. Still trying to figure out which model I prefer. What do you think? Should this stay in the Pickle Jar or go in the gallery?? Ephemeris Posted on March 7, 2025 Continuing my deep dive into nebula creation using Blender that I started with “Outland“. Again I used Gaea2 for the foreground though I intentionally kept things minimal because I wanted to the sky, atmosphere and reflections to be the focus. Blender nebulae are created using a very different procedure than how I’ve created them using Cinema4D and I’m trying to decide which I prefer going forward. They each have their pros and cons but both are fun to explore. I hope you enjoy my experiments! Cobalt Daisy (UKR) Posted on March 5, 2025 In 2022 I created a special version of “Fluorescence” using the colors of the Ukrainian flag to show my support. Just recently a member requested that I update my “Cobalt Daisy” with those colors given that the sunflower happens to be the national flower of Ukraine. I thought it a worthwhile endeavor so I fired up my old copy of Lightwave on my Shadowfax workstation and came up with this new version.Like the special version of “Fluorescence”, this special version is free to download. Morrow Grove (Bluebells) Posted on February 28, 2025 Here’s a second version of “Morrow Grove (Spring)” in which I’ve replaced the grass and flowers with a carpet of bluebells. The forest behind my home gets a similar flood of bluebells in early spring and I always look forward to walking among them. Which version do you prefer?? For now this is the version featured in the gallery and yesterday’s version is in the Pickle Jar.

Any room when paired with the right accessories. In this boy's bedroom, we went for the old-world collegiate look. The room looks adorable paired with plaids and a gallery wall mixed with vintage style frames and toys."03of 20 Blue + Neons Design: Diana Weinstein, Photo: Jane Beiles, Graphics: Sabrina Jiang for MyDomaine Blue is extra calming, but a pop of bright colors can give it the oomph it needs. "I love how fresh and young the bright pops of fluorescent hues make a soft blue wall color feel," designer Diana Weinstein says. "The boldness of these neons adds an edge to what is typically a more traditional design. The clients on this specific home didn't like to take risks with color, but we encouraged them to try out this rug and tweed armchairs with these fun pops of pinks and yellows and oranges in them. This is now their favorite room."04of 20 Forest Green + Light Gray Design: Desiree Burns Interiors, Photo: Tamara Flanagan, Graphics: Sabrina Jiang for MyDomaine If you're in the market for more earthy color schemes, green cannot be beat. "I love incorporating pops of green as an accent color throughout a neutral home," Desiree Burns, the founder of Desiree Burns Interiors explains. "Bolder shades like forest green pack a big punch and make a beautiful impact, especially when combined with neutrals like light gray. It's a nice balance of a bold color counteracted by a neutral and works in almost any room! Whether you're going bohemian,
