The jury is still out about moving images on thedude.com.

But there’s no debating the beauty of these renderings.

The animation was done entirely using 3Ds Max and V-Ray render and took about 10 days to complete. Professionally done 3D visualization is the perfect tool to present concepts or new products in a beautiful, photoreal style, while creating a mood with music and conveying a message, through on-screen text or narration.

I’ve always been drawn to symmetry in my images, but when you view a few of them in a group, the effect can be ridonculous! Or maybe not. What do you think?

This is the barracks I lived in from September, 1985 until March, 1987. It must be summer, because my pals are firing up the grill. Funny. I think I have more pictures of the exterior of my barracks in Thule than I do of the building I live in now…

I love barter. In trade for some web work, I get days at this fabulous house. This works out great for everyone involved, but the biggest beneficiary is definitely me. Its on trips like this that I am reminded how great my friends are and that I have the most wonderful wife in the world. Lucky me!

It was really cold, but breathtaking nonetheless .

Terror check redactedIt’s amazing to me that even 18 years after the fact, there is still occasional interest in a video I shot of the Oakland Hills Fire.

This time it will be aired on a Discovery Channel program titled Moments of Terror. Woo! Scary! It’s always interesting to see what they do to my footage. All I know about it at this point is that the program airs in January of 2010.
