choppy water



My very first attempt at water and the use of raytracing. I also did this from a tutorial. The guy who did it did it miles better, but this was my first attempt after all.

nuclear explosion



Explosions are nothing new to me. I decided to do a nuclear explosion since they are more complex than just a simple bang or flash. The explosion is made out of a mesh and noise is added to it to animate it. I did not originally know how to do this whole thing, so I grabbed a tutorial off of www.cgtutorials.com to do it.

light saber



This is my first attempt at recreating the famous light saber glow. I intend to do it again and make it more detailed.

Cosmic Energy




I Did this video in a tutorial from www.videocopilot.net. All it is is a still image with some cool 3D effects added to make a video. Enjoy!

meandering stream



This is my first attempt at a stream of water. As you can see the second image uses a depth of field effect. I will upload a video soon, if I can render it into a 100mb file or less (blogger doesn't accept bigger)
