I think this image needs no explanation (except that the render is missing one bucket ;o) ). The model is kindly provided by the extremely talented modeler –  Alex Huguet.

Slightly old news, and a bit of shameless self promotion, but I am pleased that one of my images from the Render Curves Tutorial is in issue 62 of 3D Artist magazine.

I am always on the look out for high quality models with which to test Arnold. If you have anything that you are willing to donate to a good cause, it would be greatly appreciated. You would, of course, be credited.

People often ask me (among other things) “Why is your screen resolution so loooow (1024×768)? How can you work like that!”

Well, here are the reasons:

1. It takes less time to move the mouse pointer across the screen which speeds up my productivety immensely.
2. Using multi-touch means that I don’t need to clutter my screen space with space consuming icons and menus.
3. I can move my monitor 1 meter away from my face (recommended distance) and still read the text on the screen.
4. My colleagues can see and read what is on my screen making communication on projects easier.
5. “With higher resolutions comes smaller text” which puts more strain on your eyes and can also lead to headaches.
6. I like to be different okaaaay?

Going to make an effort to add some Arnold render WIP’s and general info during 2014. Lets see how long this New Years Resolution lasts…
