Work work

Haven't had much time lately, work takes lots of time and i find the time at my disposal lacking for undertaking any major projects.
Hopefully i will be able to upload something the coming week, but i make no promises.
If only work was not such a big part of life...

The Castle (Series)

Finally done with all the rendering and postworking!
Took its time but hopefully the results are worth it.
I will need some time to decide if i like it or not, but its my first serious attempt with the Maxwell render plugin for Cinema 4D.

21 images with about 40mins rendering each with no bulk rendering functionality..

Hope you enjoy it! :)

Pirate!

While waiting for the last 3 renders to finish i thought i could upload an earlier material
experiment.
This was mostly done to learn how the materials work in Maxwell.

Back from Vacation

Just got back (yesterday) from a well needed vacation so haven't been able to check in lately.
Currently im in the progress of rendering my latest series of images that was completet quite a while back.
I did draft renders at small res back when i completed the project but wanted a better background and resolution so now i need to re-render all 15 pieces at about 45-60minutes per image so hopefully i can post the whole batch sometime tomorrow.

A bit of statistics

Just for fun i thought i would share some statistics, now these are from google stats which is not entirely accurate since it wasn't active when i first started this page, but they should be accurate since may 2010 (blog is actually from december 2008).
For me these numbers are really quite exciting as i do this only for fun when i get some time over from normal life.
So i guess a big thank you to all of you who visit and keeps visiting my page is well in order :)
Thank you! :)

New Banner again

Well, dunno about this one either but it will do for now...
Been working quite a lot today with a small series of pictures which i intent to write a short story to go with.
Right now i'm at picutre 10 out of what i plan to be about 15.
Not all of them have been rendered and the ones that have been are all quite low res (1000x800).
I might re-render them later at a higher res, but as it takes 25min/image at the current res i will have to see about that.

Rose Meets Alpha

And now that you met Rose, it's time for Rose to meet Alpha.
Rose meet Alpha, Alpha, Rose...
