Duality

By Frank Deardurff | January 3, 2021 |

This one is from 2003 working with reflections and materials mostly. Looking to see how sky elements reflected depending on placement of the horizon.

Downtown

I like how this one turned out. A lot of time into this futuristic city landscape. Everything was done in Bryce 3D except the motion of the ship which I did in photoshop. This piece was done in 2003

I didn’t date this one but I’m guessing early 2000’s I was working on negative space again with having a water level below the land elements and then negative space in the pipe structure. For negative space you had to create an element and then make it overlap with negative positioning. Looks more simplistic than…

Crystal Observation

I liked the reflections and colors in this sunset and crystal tower from 2005.

Cold and Icy

Futuristic landscape from this 2001 art. Was going for sci-fi and working with some motion. Looked like a scene from a video game in the day.

City Top

By Frank Deardurff | January 3, 2021 |

This one was rendered back in 2000 – working with shapes inside of glass. Placement was a bit tricky but I liked how it came out.

Castle City

By Frank Deardurff | January 3, 2021 |

This is the second rendering of this art. The first was “Before Castle City“. I took the original art and went a bit more futuristic with this 3D rendering from 2001.

Canister Row

2005 art using Bryce 3D – alignment is tricky in wireframe.

Breaking

By Frank Deardurff | January 2, 2021 |

This was my first attempt on using negative elements to create two halves of an object. A lot of time spent on this one as there are several elements stacked in a close proximity before rending the solid model.
