Yes, it's true. On the internet, I'm a rather dull, mild-mannered digital artist, but in real life, I am actually Superfrog.
"Faster than a speeding dragonfly, stronger than a flathead catfish. Able to leap ten hungry alligators in a single bound. Look! Out in the swamp! It's a bird. It's a boat. It's Superfrog!"

For me, ideas are like butterflies that are flittering around by the dozens. Just grab one and render it, then move on to the next.
BIO:
I began 3D art with Bryce 3 in April 1999. Before that I played with various 2D styles and techniques. Back in the mid-70's and 80's, I worked in metal sculpture and had a line of "frog prints" selling in stores all over Southern California and Arizona. I have been in art in some capacity since childhood. Since the computer came along, I 've pr3etty much lost touch with brushes, pens and pencils which I regret.

Very good, almost abstract.

Superb! The vapor looks great!

Makes me think of those acrobats/dancers/gymnist who dance silk and make it come alive on stage (like cirque de soleil). Nicely done!

Outstanding ! How'd you do it ?
wawadave

amazing, have to scrub the glass eye on this one! If I ignore the shadow, it could be a seagull against a cloud backdrop.

...come on Dave, we have all read that vapor trails are just the governments way of hiding a plot to take over the weather...pershaps they have hired you to get us off their..tail? Super experiment, looks allot like she is flinging a very long flowing prop... [= No conspirator's were harmed in the typing of this response

Post more failures; I like them. Amazing work.

Cool. It reminds me of that effect in photography where there's a long exposure with a flash at the end before the shutter closes. But how is this worked out in render? More details please.

Nothing wrong with this one!

I was kind of going for that time-lapse/tracer like look in photography, Paul. The 3 meshes are ribbon-like strips, extruded fron a twisting line and then pushed and pulled a bit.

I dont know if thi shelps but Sdbobe after effects has a lot of plug-ins and filters that make this kind of effect possible/easy to do. a good example of it is the current ipod ad. (is actually a lot easier to make than one would think)
