Old FB memories

[JimothyZombie]

Every now and then I pop into FB and it shows me 3D renders I did so long ago! This one was from 2012.



Not a good rendering, but I like the colours.

it looks cool, i'd date it.

sometimes i go through my graphic diaries from art school too. so many drawings and weird concepts

I don't know anything about digital art. It looks pretty cool!

Another memory. First of few renders I did with Poser. I was obsessed with 3D software. I bought into Poser because it had a nice global illumination engine, something that was undeveloped in the other software I was using at the time. Not long after this I bought Lightwave, probably the reason I didn't get much use out of Poser, that and I was already comfortable with DAZ Studio, it's younger rival.

One of the earliest renders I did with LW. October 2012
I was playing around with volumetric (fog) and depth of field. I clearly did not understand the sampling controls, which resulted in blotchy doff effect.

I SHOULD CREATE A NEON SIGN THAT SAYS THAT

I'd love to learn rendering but my life is already a graveyard of unfinished hobbies so

[JimothyZombie]

MINE TOO. Like now that I finally built a new rig perfect for rendering I think it's time I got back to studying Javascript and I should probably cut back on cycling so I can better arrange work and study. And I already gave up drinking

[JimothyZombie]

I have decided I will upload one of my old renders every day until I forget about it. I stopped posting stuff on FB at the end of 2012, so that misses a huge chunk of what I was working on. Most will be shit I did while experimenting, but that's what I always liked most about 3D arts.

One of the first tests I did with dispersive surfaces (those that split light into coloured bands) in Iray

[dreamshell]

slick. i like the subtle hourglass effect

[JimothyZombie]

Optics is fun ^_^

Simple geometry. Simple lights. January 2017. I was working on making interesting little things to add to scenes while I was experimenting with different surfaces and lights.

[JimothyZombie]

Also Jan 2017. More splitting light.

[JimothyZombie]

When you stop to ponder the big things instead of marching in the army of the damned. April 2017. Was the first time I'd lit a scene using hand painted HDR light sources.
