Sept/Oct 2026 Adventures in #Lightwave3d & Photoshop. Unusually for me these are all LW2026, I'm getting more comfortable with using it. My thanks, as always, to the modellers out there who share their hard work. #Scifi #ScifiArt

All the images in this little series. Despite it not turning out how I initially planned, I'm happy with the "final" (is anything ever really finished?) results. #Lightwave3d #Scifi #ScifiArt

I don't have much time now for Lightwave3d modelling or setting up new rendering scenes. But I did tweak an older scene. Also, my last project was a Moonbase WIP

Today’s project the old sci-fi tech tower trope. Mostly fooling around in Photoshop, compositing #Lightwave3d renders into a cloud-brushed background with an old planet I made years ago.

Re-rendered the towers in #Lightwave3D wasn't happy with how they looked. Found a shuttle on CGtrader and rendered it out, hopefully it'll drop into the image but no matter how it turns out I love this part of the process.Tweaking things, seeing the image fall into place. #Scifi #ScifiArt #WIP

Hmm, depending on what I place in here, the camera might need amending. There’s a lot of empty space at the top and I unconsciously dropped into book cover mode. #Lightwave3d #Scifi #ScifiArt

I mentioned before that Ben Vost put together some brilliant personal training in Lightwave for me, and he's now got a web page up to promote it.

I recommend it VERY highly!

"Witch's Cottage" © Trey Xander
3D illustration created in LightWave 3D.
#blueskyartshow #spooky #halloween #witch #eerie #swamp #illustration #3dart #3d #digitalart #cgi #creepy #scary #fantasy
3D illustration of an eerie witch's cottage nestled in a dark, foggy swamp. Glowing runes illuminate the facade of the sloping roof, as white smoke drifts slowly into the night air from the chimney. In the swamp water below the pilings which elevate the cottage from the murky water, alligators swim, patrolling the dangerous waters like silent guard dogs, ready to snap and submerge any unsuspecting visitors to this forbidden place...

Wrapping up the evening’s #Lightwave3d shenanigans. Red and green hues, a lot of haze, and one very large skull - it is Halloween after all.
Then, because I’d already dropped into book cover mode:
"The Colossus Abides"
Astronaut by @gmd3d.bsky.social . 🎃 #Scifi #ScifiArt
A vast, weathered skull half-buried in red desert dust, glowing in the haze of a low, hazy sun. A tiny astronaut stands in front of it, dwarfed by its size. The sky darkens from fiery orange to murky olive green above, over distant hazy hills. A vast, weathered skull half-buried in red desert dust, glowing in the haze of a low, hazy sun.

New wallpaper. I've said it before and I'll say it again but if I have to stare at a screen all day at work then I'll be damned if I have to look at the corporate wallpaper - I know where I am, don't need reminding every few minutes 🤣 #Lightwave3d render of Howie Day's model. #ScifiArt #Scifi
A Star Wars B-wing starfighter rendered as if seen in TRON, its lines picked out in cyan and its hull panels tinted burnt orange to black, set against a plain dark background. “B-wing” is labelled in the corner.

"Enzmann Starships" Interstellar concept. Model by @nick-stevens.com Rendered in #Lightwave3d (LW11.6.3 ) I think this will be my next LW 2026 conversion project. Working with that huge reflective ball of frozen deuterium is going to be the challenge.

Well that was a first. Loaded up a recent scene in LW 2026 to find all the surfacing completely borked. Much head scratching ensued. Loaded the same scene in LW 2024 all ok. Remembered I’d installed some legacy plugins. Clean install later and badda bing, back to normal. 😊 #Lightwave3d

There was only ever one way this was going. Time to crank up the music and fire up #Lightwave3d

Not my work but this 1980 piece by Marc Hempel pretty much sums me up. A man going about his ordinary life with his head entirely somewhere else.
