Naturally I produced these images without any real photography or light. The software to produce images of this quality or better are readily available today. Mine renders a three-dimensional model in the form of data using ray tracing. And the models owe a great deal of their detail to fractal noises that we can also customise with much verstatility. This artwork was largely produced using Bryce. Bryce is now sold by DAZ-3D. It was first created by a group named MetaCreations, and later bought by Corel, before becoming Eovia capital. I don't think it can be downloaded on-line, but can be ordered shipped as a CD-ROM.

I believe that perhaps I didn't add enough detail of my own, or enough invention to the images. They are simple in concept, yet the software allows more explicit features to be specified, which would make the images less desolate. But some people also like desolate. Each of these images is pure concept.

To view the occasional (non-essential) animations on a browser that has ActiveX controls, you need either Windows Media Player 7 (+), or any other player capable of playing .wmv Files. To view them on other computers, you need the Flash plug-in. But high-speed Internet is preferable in any case. I've observed that by now, even non-Windows browsers will have trouble playing .avi Files directly from the Web site, maybe because aside from Windows Media Player modern servers even discourage it. So I've phased out the specification of each .avi File on my Web site.

A small group of computer images:

  • A Single Piece of Graphical Computer Artwork (not made with Bryce)
  • An atoll in sunlight
  • The same atoll on a disturbing night
  • The tree that wanted to bend
  • A waterfall
  • New Year's Eve 2001 (Involves a 137KB compressed video clip.)
  • An Ominous Invitation To a place called Omega
  • An intriguing Moonset
  • An Island In The Sun
  • Two different African-style desert trees (Involved TreeDruid)
  • An example of Raised Text
  • The Creation of Kthalaha
  • The following images were not made with Bryce, but with other software:

  • An airbrush Image produced from real photography
  • An example of a fur shader, for DirectX 8.1 software, but also just viewable here.
