New Art: Late Draft
Everyone who does digital art hits a few familiar themes, once of which is The Watch. I passed this way back in 2002, but have always wanted to do a pocket watch, with some geers and stuff. I'm still tweaking this, but I'm mostly happy with it. I'll probably finish the render this weekend.

From longtime reader Tara, send via email:
"I'm not an art snob or anything, but it brings to my mind the humongous, fake Uniroyal tire on I-94 near Allen Park, Michigan. If you are from the Detroit/Downriver area, you'll know what I mean. If you are not, imagine a 4 story tire likeness sitting on the edge of a major interstate, posing as a billboard. Mezmerizing for a child, kind of creepy for adults."
1. I know the tire she's talking about.
2. How long do your renders take, and what rendering tool do you use? We've toyed around with distributed POVRAY rendering with good results.
3. Seen the price of gold lately? It's on fire!
love the watch... glad to see you back doing these.
Dan,
The renders usually take me 100-200 hours to put together, depending on the complexity. The watch here was about 150 hours to assemble. The renders themselves are comparitively quick, an hour or two or as many as 12 hours if there are a lot of "expensive" materials like glass, mirrors etc. The eventual mastershot for this one will come be 4000x3000 and take about 15 hours.
I use Bryce 6.01 for almost everything. I've been using it for 8 years now, and I'm too comfortable with it's interface to tkae the time to move to another system.
thanks Tom! It's good to be doing these again. I needed a break though, I had been going for almost 6 years straight.
Also,
Yes, I've seen gold! I am a very happy gold investor atm, except it has very bad implications for the economy and the USD.
Also, MSFT hit $37 this morning, also a cause for some celebration!
