Update: City at Night Lights for Vue
May 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Ok, so this really isn’t an update, more of a usage note, as I realized I left out a simple step for users of the Vue version to get the best results from these materials. Due to the way the window regions of the Dystopia City Blocks are mapped, you should double click the materials, choose advance editor and under the color & alpha tab, set the mapping mode to ‘faces’ and then adjust the map size to get the look you desire. This will yield the effect shown above instead of the little tiny lights you get by just adding them to your blocks.
The materials work on primitives and most other objects without any need for the above edits, so no worries there. Oh, and if you don’t already have them, I suggest picking them up right here>

Cherub

I added a new piece the the gallery today simply titled, Cherub. This piece is very much FPS game inspired and meant to be heavy on the dramatic side. Click here to check it out>
And the title? It actually comes from an old Butthole Surfers song of the same name. A selection from the lyrics is included below
Cherub
Cherub the angel
Roll back the hands of time
Cherub
Enter the angel
aaaaaaahhhh!
You walk alone now
You’re never mind
The walks you’ve taken
have left behind
All people sideways
They look at you
may god forsake me
cause I do to
I see bodies
Maybe, maybe someone is alive
Naked we smile
E-On Picture of the Day: Bonneville
May 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment
My piece titled Bonneville was featured on E-on software’s homepage as their picture of the day today. This piece was created using their flagship software product, Vue 6 infinite, and they included a small quote from me about one of my favorite professional applications:
An simple environment like the Bonneville Salt Flats can be surprisingly hard to replicate, but Vue 6 Infinite’s killer atmosphere engine allowed me to achieve the desired look with it’s hyper-realistic spectral lighting capabilities.
You can check it out on their site by clicking here or view the larger piece and related details in my gallery here.
