Sometimes I believe I could cure a rainy day (dialup warning)

Not terribly long ago I posted some old 3dsmax artworks I was playing around with back in '02. When I posted them I believed that was all of them- I had a whole bunch more, but they had disappeared off my hard drive long since. I did use the entire collection (over 50 all told) in a screensaver I made, but that didn't do me a lot of good unless I wanted to upload a rather large setup file which nobody in their right mind would download. So time passed, until the other day I found the old screensaver file and installed it on my computer. I had quite forgotten just how many works I'd created, but I couldn't extract them- or so I thought. I wanted those files, so I did a little research and damned if I didn't find a way to capture my pics directly from the screensaver itself! It's something I hadn't thought possible, but I dood it! I got my cool graphics files back!

I'll post a few here, and if requested I'll post a few more in the future- as I said, there are quite a few of them to go through.

Here are a few to start it off. Hope you enjoy.

What do you mean, IF we like them???

These are gorgeous!

The 3-D aspect really works here. I love the twisty shapes and the shiny metallic surfaces. They are just wonderful, and good on ya for having retrieved them, and for having made them in the first place!

More, please! Whenever you feel like it, of course...





It's great to see you today!

Been a bit busy lately, and on a mellow Saturday night I'm finally gonna kick back and enjoy some old classic rocket to the moon sci-fi flicks whilst herbally enhancing my consciousness a wee bit.

Care to join me?

I use a program called Xenodream and recently lost the native files to a whole series I made, so I'm glad you found your work. I can imagine how thrilled you felt!

I would love to see them grace the walls of medical facilities. One gets so tired of seeing half azzed landscapes with one tree or sailboats that look like their are painted on the docks instead of the water. A couple of these would do wonders to occupy the mind while waiting for your doctor,treatment etc.
You have a beautiful eye for design.
