ABANDONED GAZEBO - uploaded 2004-12-24

It has been here for decades. It was a place of joy and sadness and now it is left alone. At last this gazbo will be embraced by nature...

Wanted to make a picture with my gazebo and flowers. Just a beautiful garden picture. But during composition I decided to let wilderness take over the scene, at least a bit. Rendered with Vue d'Esprit 5. Used the new global illumination feature and only one light (sun). Just resizing and a little blur in Photoshop to remove the grainy look of the plants in the foreground on the right. Additional flowers from PlanIt3D. Gazebo made by myself. Other plants from Vue.

ANCIENT HALLWAYS - uploaded 2004-12-17

An empty hall. Although you don't see any decay, you feel yourself alone. Somehow life is missing here and you wonder how it looked like in ancient times.

One of my early works. A simple test render for Claw Hall. The hardest part was the composition and the lighting. Used several spotlights to give the hall some feeling of depth. Rendered with Poser4. Only contrast and lightness correction in postwork. Model is Claw Hall made by myself.
