My raytracings This is some of my best artwork to date. All images were created using Moray software as the modeler, and POV as the raytrace engine (See my Art 2 page). Moray allows you to build a picture in three dimensions in the form of a wireframe image. You add 'shapes' on top of other 'shapes' until the picture contains all the elements needed. Then you must determine colors and textures for all objects. You can't see the outcome until you are through, so you must be able to envision your scene..  Once you are ready, you run the model through the raytracer (POV) and it calculates all the colors, textures, reflections, refractions, and shadows. For complicated scenes, this can take several hours to several day

BanjoGrass

My musical roots include Bluegrass, but if I made the grass blue, would you know it was grass? There are over 200 objects in this image.

Cutglass 2 

Inspired by my grandmother's cutglass bowls, one of which I inherited. The glass eggs add some life.

Fiftie's TV

My idea of a 1950's TV. The plexiglas table is also from the era. The show on the TV was one of my favorites after school.

 
GlassJax 

"What can I create using just cones and spheres?" This is what came to mind and came out just as I imagined it. I also have a chrome version.
