Heh commie mentioned perspective, but was on about spreading the display over the 2 monitors running the display over 2 screens off the one box? That's really nice if you've not tried it.. Makes the work cycle a lot easier.. especially when texturing or modelling. I saw the "core' render a while back, just wasn't sure what program rendered it. Has a Bryce/Cinema4d feel' You'll know what I mean. I couldn't work out which.
That is what I meant by extension on my last description text. Both PC's can be dual monitor mode, because all monitors and pc's have VGA/DVI capabilities. I'm glad you had difficulty figuring out what I rendered with. I always try to avoid that "Look" that people can tell what software was used. Same with FL Studio, I tried to not make it sound like another FL Studio audio production.

Oh and the Rendi Gallery, NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!. bryce does awesome abstract images and I see you've got the renderer well under control. CubeIt must have took an age to render, or is it reflection based illusion? I'd seen some of your work here on the forums, but with photoshop you never know what is created or plugin. I've seen people on some forums reduced to 8bit quality images when they run a no-plugin compo. You ever do any Amiga dpaint stuff?? Might have to drop a few oldies up in the artwork forum here..
"Cubeit" consists of 311 Objects and 2824 polygons, all objects including light source are encapsulated inside a reflective sphere to kind of multiply the number of objects without taking too long to render. I used Bryce 7.1 Pro for this.
My photoshop work is done with CS2 and I tried to avoid plugins when possible. I mainly use gradients and layer options.
In the example of the ocean logo, everything is done with layers and gradients, the only plugin used was the streaks that you see, with "Kais Power Tools" which was made by the original creators of "Bryce" and that is a lens flair effect.
I would like to one day create a tutorial on how I made this image.

What do you think of the Wacom? I have a one of the old Intious A4 pads with the mouse, and gotta say I dislike that mouse with a passion..
I have the Wacom Graphire 4x4 unit, like you I hat the mouse, the only reason I dont throw it in the garbage its because it cost a bit of money buying the tablet.
I dont use the Wacom for everything, main for photoshop work when I need to do some freehand work.

Either way, quality work pal.. On both skills sets too.
Thanks, I practice as much as I can, I've done a few worth1000.com contests too, just to challenge myself.
( but.. but... but.. 3d on the smaller monitor??? ) heh.. You have a gallery of you 3d stuff anywhere?? I'd like to see that. .. Bryce/Vue are my weapons of choice with wings3d as modeller/texture . Haven't done anything for a while though :-
