A picture named Mars2.jpgThat thing on the moon. Yes, I spent most of the afternoon finishing yet another one of my 3D-renderings and you can find it on my 3D-Gallery website. It's done in Vue d'Esprit, because I wanted to try out the little Bryce2Vue converter. Guess what: it works perfectly! It doesn't convert the materials, but camera positions and objects are still where they used to be. Another good piece of software for MacOSX, since Corel doesn't seem to care [bigtime swearing inserted here] updating Bryce. Idiots. Actually I find Vue less buggy than Bryce in OSX and - getting used to it - much easier to operate. And the materials and textures controls are much, much better. The rendering is faster. Display is faster. Vue still has a few bugs, but is much better than the aforementioned piece of 2001neverupdatedstinkyprogrammethankstocorelbuggers! So I'm waiting for the next Vue Update.

Phew. I'm feeling much better now. Thanks.

Now are there any SF book publishers out there who need a cover artist? I'm ready ... !

A picture named schrat.gifGotcha! (Again!) Another one bites the dust:

There's a new bunch of German Spammers out there who send you mails with subject lines like 'New screensavers on the SAT1 homepage' (SAT1 is a German TV channel) or 'Your postbox at Datanetcom'. If you're stupid enough to click on the link in the message body, you download a dialer. Bastards!

A picture named margarethe.gifMargarethe. I believe Margarethe Hubauer must have been representing illustrators even before I was born. She will probably still work as an illustrators' agent when I'm long gone. She does it now since I can remember. Anyway - wonderful artists' portfolios on her site (watch out: heavy use of Flash!). That's where I found Brad Holland.
