Space! Working in the new #Lightwave3D 2026 spending a very pleasant evening tweaking the surfaces on this cool astronaut model by Peter_D on Sketchfab. Next up I need to workout rigging so I can change the default T-pose and also tweak the render settings #Scifi #ScifiArt

See that photoshop rabbit hole ? That's the one I fell into. Lightwave3d render photoshopped into a stock photo. More a technical exercise - distort and perspective transformation really bends my head. Still not sure it's right. #Scifi #ScifiArt #Lightwave3d "Cinder" a novel not coming anytime 😉
Final image from today's session, which was a mission. Lightwave crashed before I saved the scene. So had to reconstruct from a screenshot. Mock cover for James Blish's 'Welcome to Mars'. Inspired in no small way by Bruce Pennington's work.
Definitely a "boom today !!" #Babylon5 It was the dawn of the third age of mankind and the start of my #Lightwave3D journey, Model by Adam Burch. #Scifi #ScifiArt
Sometimes you just need to blow stuff up. #Lightwave3d and Photoshoppery. Using Don Gaisers SF-51 Mustang model. #Scifi #ScifiArt
Space 1999! Eagle Transporters on patrol. Following some recent black and white explorations I couldn't resist dropping the iconic Eagle into the lunar landscape. Depicted here in the brief window before the inevitable crash landing. #Lightwave3d #Scifi #ScifiArt #Space1999
Model by "Paul aka TheMightSpud" from the long gone and much lamented Foundation3D website where I first cut my Lightwave3d teeth.
May 4th! Some #StarWars renders to celebrate the day. Hard to believe it's been nearly 50 years since we went to a galaxy far far away. I was there as a kid and still there as an old man. Models by Alain Rivard, Charles Woods and
Howie Day
#StarWarsDay
Calling time on this one. Changed direction several times and I think that's the problem;,no clear story going in. All good though, learned a few things, fired up Octane for #Lightwave3d and had a proper play with VDBs. 😊 #Scifi #ScifiArt"

Front shield rendered in Lightwave and then 'shopped into the final_final_final image. Now to find some debris brushes and add some destruction.This is almost turning into a "proper" image. Definitely into new territory, working outside my well established comfort zone. Fun though.

I knew I shouldn't have named the file Miners8_final.psd 😉 A small update, which of course has given rise to a potential newer update.
Gas processing rigs punching through the gas giants upper layers. Turned out okay. The clouds are nor as defined as I'd like but close enough. #Lightwave3d and photoshop. #Scifi #ScifiArt
Space Battleship Yamato. Model by Don Gaiser . #Lightwave3d render with a splash of photoshoppery. Have to admit, whilst I'm aware of the series I'm not deep into the lore - so any mistakes are definitely mine not Don's.
So it seems she may fly again, albeit in animated form.And I think I'm on board with that, kinda worked with the recent Babylon5 animated reboot. #Lightwave3d and Photoshop #Firefly #Serenity
B-Wings (again, I make no apologies) I've loved these ships ever since they made their appearence in ROTJ. #Lightwave3d render of Howie Day's model
Falcon. Unquestionably the coolest hunk of junk in the galaxy. But still an absolute pig to composite in an image - well I find it tricky 😉Model by Alain Rivard . Lightwave3d render
Lightwave3d render of Alex Axelssons model. Design obviously heavily influenced by The Prometheus #Lightwave3d #ScifiArt
