It's been a While

Hi Folks,

Sorry for being away everyone, I've been really busy on my Illustration degree course and sadly it looks as if that is going to continue. :(  However I've had a bit of free time recently and I was able to look at Blender 2.64.  From other posts you will know about the Ray Trace rendering system in Blender called "Cycles".  Well there have been some very good improvements in Cycles and I was able to conjure these images within a matter of minutes!  ENJOY!

 One of the greatest new features?  The ability to add textures to an object without UV unwrapping it!  Also don't forget that both of these images are lit by HDR Lighting!
