what's your wallpaper?

Here's my latest Wallpaper.

Made in Gimp 2.10 on my new Win10 machine. Used JWWildfire batch of 3 renders and a texture.

Cool guys.
Hello Kimba. How long have you had the new computer?

Interesting wallpaper Kimba...

Here's one that was edited quite a bit. It's tough to shoot a dark bird against a bright sky. I also added the lens flares to make it a little more interesting.

Racer-X, that is a beautiful image of an eagle in flight! Perfect for a wallpaper.

RacerX That is lovely. Sallyanne. Ive had this machine about 3 weeks. My old Linux laptop is now a desktop due to it's battery dying. I decided NOT to Dualboot this machine as it has both an small SSD and a regular HD, so have been getting used to Win10. It is easier to run JW Wildfire on win10 and I have Daz Studio back so am very happy.

The Eagles were going crazy today, I couldn't keep up with them. It's all good though....

This young Eagle snagged himself a nice lunch. I can't decide if it's a fish or small animal, maybe it's an otter. Anyone care to guess what this Eagle's got in his tallens?

I made this Earth in blender and finished it off in Gimp. I'm currently rendering an 8k version. It will take an hour to render that 1 frame. I started off with very high resolution maps.

I made some light bulbs in Blender. This is one of my early renders, where I forgot to smooth the faces on the bulbs. I kinda like it though, it gives an interesting beveled glass effect.

Very nice RacerX. I like the textured look. I am relearning Blender now 2.80 is finalised.

racer-x · **Joined:** Apr 15, 2017 **Posts:** 1837

Yeah, I just installed Blender 2.8 also. I pretty much have to learn the interface all over. Here's a little animation I made with the bulbs. I did the soft glow on the lit bulb in Gimp.

Wow racer-x I love the light bulbs and the gold and chrome chains :clap

I'm way behind with Blender ...
Is there a new version ?

Blender 2.80 has just been released, Ella. It was available in various semi-finished forms but now it's finalised. It's been completely changed so takes getting used to.

Good work, RacerX.

Thank you for your explanation, Kimba. Maybe I can keep the old portable version of Blender and install the new one on my computer. So I can get used to it.
