February 2005
I'm still having fun exploring MojoTree but I'm also going back to the art of the boolean. I've been modeling things in
Bryce 5 without the benefit of Carrara as I haven't installed it yet on my iBook.
Crabs
on Brighton Beach Brighton Beach is my current MojoWorld work in progress planet. This render uses two tree presets (yes -- the crabs are trees!) and some original boulders.
Created February 1, 2005
Our CouchI know it would be easier to just take photographs of our townhouse but I'm having more fun building them in Bryce. The couch is all Bryce, being a combination of symetrical lattices and booleaned primitives. All the textures are DTE creations.

Filling the Dam My first of three renders of Planet Ulysses (now challenge 168) during the challenge period. As I didn't use any sort of controls on the placement of trees by sea level, scenes of flooding are possible.
Created February 3-4, 2005
Higher
Ground My second of three renders of Planet Ulysses (now challenge 168) during the challenge period. Here I am at the top of a mountain, waiting for the flood to clear.

Pumpkin Hill My final render of Planet Ulysses (now challenge 168) during the challenge period. I headed south where I encountered some enticing pumpkins but I had to beat a hasty retreat when I spoted the dreaded harlequin beatle coming towards me.

ShorelineOn another continent on Planet Brighton I found a salt hungry species of plant that grows along the shoreline. Ok, in reality, I'm experimenting with MojoTree and planting my creations at different spots on the planet.

The Mud FlatsI like these little woody weed things. They were a happy MojoTree find. They are also now "planted" on Planet Brighton.

Late
Afternoon I did some color correction in Photoshop to this render of Planet Valentine (currently on offer from the 3DCommune via Pandromeda's site). Without the adjustments it would have been a blue sky day with a green mountainside. I wanted to bring a little drama into the final render.
Created February 8-9, 2005
The Bridge at SunsetI've done another representation of the San Mateo Bridge, this time in Bryce. All the models are boolean operations and all the textures are DTE creations (including the striped line). This is actually a test render but I liked it well enough to post it. I have more details and refinements to make.

Shadows on the WindowIt's been a while since I've done a Photoshop drawing so today I did this quick sketch the shadow of a tree against a wall. The trickiest bit was getting the tree reflection in the window to look recognizable as a tree. It needed to look organic and not like a flat raggedy shape.

Rocky ShoreI'm still adding details to Planet Brighton. For this planet I've opted for lots of local forests, rather than complex global forests. The localized ones allow me greater variety and seem to be easier on the computers' processors.
Created February 10-11, 2005
Light the FireThe lighthouse is a tree. It comes with MojoWorld and am in awe of things that MojoTree can create. Someday I hope to be able to create things like this lighthouse. Anyway, a nautically themed planet like Brighton needs a lighthouse, so I've added one in. I'll probably add a few more here and there.

Ancient
Sands Rendered over the weekend. It's a view from the challenge planet (Arak) for week 169.
Created February 11-4, 2005
Fingers of GodA render from Nectarine (challenge 170). I like these tower displacements. For al the detail, the planet renders really quickly.
Created February 14-5, 2005
Blue ShadowsAnother render from Planet Nectarine (challenge 170). There is a lot of color variety on thsi planet
Created February 14-5, 2005
Cardiff FrostCardiff is my recent work in progress planet. I still need to add foliage but I'm happy with the displacements and materials.
Created February 15, 2005
My Rainy Day CommuteIt's not a great drawing but I drew it to get over the frustration of a very long and wet drive home.
Created February 15, 2005
The
Rocks I'm a big fan of voroni driven bolders and JBA's Planet Goldtop (Challenge 171) has loads of them
Created February 25-8, 2005
Geologic AbstractClick on the thumbnail to see a huge render with lots of detail. These rocks aren't as smooth as they first appear!
Created February 25-8, 2005
Cold
Crab (Cardiff) I really like the hermit crab (mojo tree) that comes with the program. For this little crab, I've tweeked the parameters a little and given the shell a new texture. Cardiff, is my latest WIP planet.
