3D Gallery

 Here you can see all my best 3D images. Instead of sticking to a certain style, I make many different types of images such as abstract, fantasy, realistic, visual illusions, and much more. I make all my images with POV-Ray. I write them in POV-Ray code without use of any modeling tools. You can download the source code for most of my images. Enjoy, and leave a comment if you like.

Metal & Flowers is a series of six images, Part I to VI, which form a larger motive when combined. It's an exercise in playful ironic contrasts, both visually and thematically. Furthermore it is the craftiest graphical artwork I have made to date, with extreme attention to detail derived from a study of countless close-up reference images of lilies and welded metal. The largest of the images is targeted at 60x90 cm in print and have been rendered at 7087x4724 pixels.
The overall theme is the artificial versus the organic. The metal structures represent man's hard inventions, yet they seem to grow in an organic fashion. The flowers are nature's beauty, yet on closer inspection they are a bit too flawless and correspond to no actual real-world flowers, combining the flower of a lily with the stem of a vine.
On the technical side, the welded metal girder structures are programmed to follow splines I have plotted by hand, while the flower stems have been created using an inverse growing algorithm that grows from the flower positions and down, clinging onto the girders.
Once I get these images printed, they'll be decorating my wall - literally my entire wall! I made a visualization.

Gee, has it really been 6 years since my last image my 3d gallery? Well, I've been busy with making animations instead, studying and Real Life. But yesterday I just spontaneously felt like doing a simple 3d image again, and whipped up this one in a couple of hours. It takes up only few lines of code. It took 13 minutes to render with area_lights and focal blur.

Hell: A hot place where you burn alone to eternity... Enjoy the stay! ;)

The "chrome sphere over checkered plane" is an overused raytracing cliche. The last thing we need is another of those images...
...but who cares! ;)

A sweet naive image almost childish in style where Santa comes by the South Pole and makes Christmas just a bit happier for a lone penguin. :) It is based on a handdrawn illustration I saw on the front of a journal. I thought it was so sweet I decided to recreate it as a 3D image. I've tried to adhere to the cute childish style but also give it my own touch. I can't find the original anywhere on the net, so I'm not able to direct you to it... Anyway, have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

An abstract tech sphere consisting of many metal plates of which some are elevated, revealing a green glow coming from the inside. Some people have pointed out to me that it looks a little like a "borg sphere" (from a StarTrek movie I think - you can see one here). Well, I had never seen a borg sphere, so it was not intentional, but maybe interesting nonetheles... One way or the other: Enjoy!

Another abstract. Other people have compared it to as different things as "neuronal network", "wire mess", and "sort of alien forest". Go judge by yourself! :)

An abstract, bright colorful tunnel. An abstract image like this is rather quick and easy to make, so I guess I should be making more of these. The tunnel is one big blob object with randomly colored blob elements. The blob elements are automatically placed with some rotate and translate funktions inside a #while-loop.

Some tourists walking around in a dripstone cave. The cave itself is made of two heightfields only.
Special thanks to Anthony L. Bennett who has done this 28 hour long render for me on his computer! Also thanks to Peter Houston who has made Blob_Man (clothes exclusive),
and to Chris Colefax who has made the Lens Effects Include file.

What is real and what isn't? Who knows? This image is made using my Illusion Include File. It seems like there's sitting a man on the steps but when you look at the other men you realize that it's just a kind of drawings on the steps.

A triangle which can not possible be made in reality. I've made it almost impossible to see where the "break" is. In fact, the only possible way, if any, would be to look at the shadows. The rounded edges sure made it much harder to make the magic trick. The pillow is a blob-object and the wood table surface texture is a wood pattern with various warps.

Overview picture of a red dragon I made. The body, neck, and tail are just scaled, rotated, and translated spheres using nested unions. The head and the legs are csg objects too.

Some colored strange tubes in flying bubbles. 100 tranparant bubbles + 100 tubes each made of 1024 spheres. Locations and colors of tubes are random. This image took 5 hours to render.

A gold torus with 20 small toruses each with 20 even smaller toruses ect... I made this when I played around with recursive macros.

This is my first dragon. He has no wings... He reminds me of a dog... It is made pretty much the same way as my new dragon (the red one), but is uses a lot more objects which make it much slower to render, still it looks much more stupid.

Still life with drawing tools. My first "real" image made with POV-Ray. It was pretty difficult to rotate and translate the pens so they touched but didn't intersect with each other and the glass.

Nice collection of images. I especially like the Techsphere, and Impossible Triangle images.

I need to know if I can use these images for my site...

I would like to thank you v. much, always information should be free, and you are doing a great work,..
Oct 6 2006 from Snowy
When i see these things i get all warm again, and hot on the trail to creation (realy starting to get adicted to 3D works)
Might open a website about it 2 someday, if i do, i'll be shure to post the link here.

I download POV-Ray a week ago.
I hope I could contribute with my code when I'll take confidence with it, maybe next year.

You rock! I Am a student interested in povray nd by using some of your code I was able to advance alot in povray!
Thanks!

it's great! I'm from mexico, i think so eceptional work
Dec 28 2005 from bryson
Excellent work! I am a great fan of Povray! I am glad there is people who do this free, and artists who share their work.

Reply to Thomas D Lynas:
Thanks! Well, some people can create an impressive and creative layout for a web page with pure HTML, with no graphical interface. Coding 3D scenes is a bit the same, just with an extra dimension.
Apr 12 2005 from Thomas D Lynas
Very interesting and impressive. How can you model in code without some sort of graphical interface. Very good
