Creating Textures with Photography
I have a long history that goes back twenty years of making my texture maps from photos I have taken. In the early 2000s, I was heavily entrenched in 3D modeling and animation.

The Mischievous Bears Re-rendering
I just completed the High-Definition re-rendering of The Mischievous Bears short animated movie.

Suffice it to say, I could re-render a few of my old favorites and even made 8x10 prints from [...]

The end result included pretty much everything that I intended to put in this movie plus some last-minute ideas. Most notable is that the room itself was based on my own including the furniture and most of the little trinkets [...]
