2001
software:
3DStudioMax, Bryce, and Photoshop

The elements of the composition were made in 3DStudio and composed and rendered in Bryce. The rendered image was worked slightly in Photoshop and made ready for the Web in Image Ready.

I made this image and the series to which it belongs because I was trying to get as far as I could from the science-fiction eerie realism that invests most 3D work. I wanted to paint abstract images that used the digital 3D tools in a way far from the distinctive fingerprints that programs like Bryce and 3DStudio leave. I wanted to see if I could make a computer image that was pretty. Anyone familiar with these programs would say that I was only partly successful; the results are still readily recognizable.
