Winner's Circle
Warm Pretzel on a Summer's Day
I made the bag and pretzel in Carrara but textured them in Bryce.

The DeepTerrain Maze
This is a volume material applied to a cube.


LinesTerrain Maze 2
Here is another volume material on a cube.



Nevada Sand Dune
Here is one of my favorite renders from planet Nevada.


Moonrise over the Mesas
I never did get the mesas to work right on this planet.




Death Valley
The sandy bits though did work out well.

Dilly Dallying on Dale
I love how the waves mimic the swirling clouds.


Room 101
Done for a challenge. I think the challenge was to depict one's greatest fear.

Reflections on Yarblockorama
I love the moody atmosphere of this challenge world.

Ice Plant on Yarblockorama
These foreground spikey bits remind me of the ice plant that grew on the canyon hill behind my grandmother's house.

The Shallows on Yarblockorama
I love these foreground rocks.

Antique Bike
I built this bike for a Carrara forum challenge.


Kenyan Trees
I used Studio Artist and Photoshop to turn a photograph my mother in law took in Kenya into this "painting."


Pond on Planet Cee
I like the foreground water in this render.

Pond on Cee - Studio Artist Version
Here is the same render but interpreted by Studio Artist.


Dusk on Planet Bart
I called this planet Bart because one of the landforms reminded me of Bart Simpson's hair.

Cat Mask
This was an attempt to model a copy of a mask I had hand painted in real life and had hanging on my living room wall.


Moon Rise on Bart
I lke to render moons in MojoWorld.

Mossy Hillside
Here's a rather subdued render from Planet Bart.


The Great Flood
I learned about creating sliders with Bart. Here I was trying out the sea level slider.


Rock and Roll
I took this challenge literally. I created the roll in the vertex editor.
