Computer Generated Imaging & Music
A few images I've created in the last years, some accompanied by music.
The images are all rendered with the free raytracer
POV-Ray.
Most parts of them are created by using the POV-Ray scene description language -
and it is always an exiting experience to use just a simple text editor and
POV-Ray creates a virtual 3D space from the text file and finally a (sometimes
even stunning) image.
If additional modelling is needed, I do usually use
Blender, also free.
Humans and animals are created with the help of
Poser
and for flowers and trees I do use
XFrog.
Both of them are commercial. All required mesh conversion is done with
PoseRay, a very
useful and free tool.
The images as shown here are 'real' 3D work and besides of brightness/gamma
correction no post processing was applied to them.
The music is a quite crude mixture of recorded 'hand played' instuments (I play
guitar, bass, 5-string-banjo and akkordeon by myself, but there are also many 'guest
musicians' involved) in combination with sound sampling. The name of this mostly
virtual band project is 'Six River Moonstone'.
Cubase is used for recording, mixing and editing and the sampler is Halion. Both
commercial software from
Steinberg.
The
XSPF Web Music Player
does the music streaming.
A short word about the copyright issue as I've seen recently some of my pictures used within the 'net (especially Tumblr,
MySpace and Flickr) without my knowledge and without any credit.
The fact that these images are published here and some of them also with my permission in other places does not make them
"public domain". I own the copyright for them.
If you wish to use one of these pictures within your blog or webside for any non-commercial purpose feel free to do so as
long as you add proper credit and do not claim them as your own work. A notice send to me would be highly
appreciated but is not necessary.
For any commercial purpose you'll definitely have to ask me for permission.
