The most complex scene I ever managed to put together.

Moonga Nunga was the MUSH name of a close friend at university, and I made this image for his desktop.

I developed the letterforms and wrote a small program to randomly place, scale, and rotate thousands of blades of grass.

Yet another picture for a friend from my university days.

This picture uses the same letterforms as in Moonga Nunga, and I really was starting to get the hang of the procedurally defined colourings.

Another picture for a friend. This was for a poster for a taekwondo competition he was in. It was also my first try at mapping a texture to a surface.

Ball Pyramid

Ball Pyramid

One of the first pictures I did with Radiance. It consisted of a pyramid arrangement of ten blue plastic balls on a highly reflective plinth, lit by two light sources.

An image to test the effect of shiny metal and glass surfaces.

It's interesting to note my use of the two red balls, in (essentially) a monochromatic picture. Much like the red title to these web pages, with the remaining text in only black and white.

I think I have moved beyond the symmetrical layout too…

Device is very simple, but the structure came to me in a dream. This was around the time I started playing with procedurally generated textures and colouring.

I believe this to be the first decent picture I generated with Radiance, beyond the basic tutorial room and box. It took an all night session of reading the tutorial, man pages, and experimentation to come up with this.

I never did get to finish this one, but it was going to be like a Koch snowflake in three dimensions.
