Well looky here, it's the weekend. Early start, chores all done, home alone and unsupervised as my wife is away watching the mighty Plymouth Argyle FC. There was only ever one way this was going. Time to crank up the music and fire up #Lightwave3d #ScifiArt #Scifi Image - "Spaceman" by Marc Hempel
Not my work but this 1980 piece by Marc Hempel pretty much sums me up. A man going about his ordinary life with his head entirely somewhere else.

My yearly attempt at an Event Horizon render. Russell Tawns model in #Lightwave3d. As always banging my head against a spooky atmosphere, so gave up 😄 Here she is at Neptune preparing to tear a hole in the universe. #Scifi #ScifiArt
The dark, gothic spacecraft Event Horizon, seen in silhouette from the top, its long spine connecting a spherical bow section to twin aft modules. It hangs before the glowing blue crescent of Neptune, with faint lights picking out detail along the hull. "Event Horizon" is captioned in the corner.

It's #Spacetober day 6, rover/robotic explorer. Exploration of Europa In the future, a probe descents into an ice chasm on Jupiter's moon, Europa. Jupiter is seen in the sky, with another moon, Io, in transit. #SciArt #spaceart
Illustration in acrylic, modified in Photoshop. We are inside a chasm on Jupiter's moon Europa. Jupiter is seen in the sky with Io in front of it. The landscape is a mix of rocks and ice. A probe is descending into the chasm, emitting light that illuminates the chasm wall nearby.

Thanks Nick, good stuff. I'm in a similar situation, though maybe a little further on. LW11 was my go to version. I understood it & it fitted my "style" LW 2026 is the first "new" version that is slowly falling into place. It's stable and seems a lot more polished than earlier versions.

My 1st pass at my document on moving from very old Lightwave to recent versions. Let me know if there's something you'd like added, or if I've made a mistake. Where old features have moved, pitfalls, and some quick and easy positive cool bits I really like. drive.proton.me/urls/1VJ85TG...

Ahh the penny drops. The model was created in a very old version and used the old surfacing system. LW 2026 is uses a newer PBR setup. A quick and very dirty surface conversion later and now we can begin to see some of the details.

"This'll be fun !" I think to myself. Fires up #Lightwave3d, pours a stiff drink and loads up Russell Tawns Event Horizon model. Drops in a new lighting setup and nothing. I'd forgotten how much light this damned (or possibly cursed ?) ship drinks. I swear it's coated in vantablack. #Scifi #ScifiArt

Still down the GiTS rabbit hole, watching the series on Amazon( recommended) and re-reading the book. "Thermoptics" rendered in #Lightwave3d and kludged in Photoshop. Does it work ? Not really but it was seriously fun to do and that's all that really matters these days 😊 #Scifi #ScifiArt

I'm tired, it's been a long week, and I'm making silly mistakes. A colour tweaked version 2 before I head off to bed.
A small blue spider-legged robot (a Tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell) crouches in a beige corridor beside a glowing pale-green panel, peering with large round eyes toward an open hatchway further down the hall. Yellow hazard stripes and a "LEVEL 01" sign mark the wall above. Text in the corner reads "Tachikoma".

I believe so, certainly written by the same guy. Different characters but a very similar vein.

An additional bonus, they also have “Space Force” which I listened to in 1985 on a small transistor radio. Been trying to track it down for years now. Let’s see how well it’s aged.
