Gallery Notes:
(1) To view my entire gallery, click on the link to "SmithGiant's Gallery" immediately below the Featured Gallery Images below.
(2) Policies regarding access to artists galleries may require you to create a log-on ID. As a long time member of the Renderosity community, I have found no evidence that Renderosity releases or sells members email to outside entities.BIOWhile it seems that I've been an "artsy-fartsy" kind of person all my life, it wasn't until 1995 that I decided to purchase a computer and teach myself how to use it as a "creative tool".
I opened a website called "Thinkpieces" in June 1997, and was forced to closed it June 2000 due to it's popularity and resultant, prohibitive data transfer cost.
While most of my work can be classified as "abstract/fractal illustrations", and it may seem that all I know how to, or do use is XenoDream, I promise that you won't be wasting (too much of) your time should you choose to browse my gallery here at Renderosity. I have tried to select work that I've not only done in XenoDream, but other software such as Bryce, Photoshop, UF, and KPT.
I appreciate you taking the time to visit, and encourage all forms of feedback.
Links & Resources:
Fractal World: A Yahoo Group I started in 2000 to give folks a place to hang/share their fractals.
KPT FraxFlame Presets: This link will take you to the FILES Section at Fractal World where you'll find individually zipped files each containing three KPT FraxFlame Preset libraries. Each library contains 24 individual presets. These presets can be used in KPT 5 or KPT Effects/X.
XenoDreamers: A (no attachment) Yahoo Group for folks interested in Xenodream.
XenoDream Pix: An (attachment allowed) Yahoo Group where folks share their XD work.
XenoDream Website: Where you can learn more about XenoDream, purchase and download it online.
Note: While the two following resource links will take you different locations, the resources are the same at both locations.
XenoDream Resource Location 1: This will take you to the FILES section at the XenoDreamers Group. Look for and click on the FOLDER entitled "Bryan's Stuff" (aka smithgiant). Inside the folder you will find a variety of tutorials and resource (xep) files that you can download, study and use.

Very impressive. As an answer to your apology, the 'accent circonflexe' is made by the following combinations of keys: ALT+0234. Look in the Character Map (is it its name in English?) in the Windows Accessories. Tempe. Voil

Or just type "^" before the "e". That gives ".
But better give us more of this style - it looks like an ime by Hiim Bch :-)

Outstanding! And everything else the others said. Creates sort of a nostalgic SciFi atmosphere... T&S

I think that's the best thing I've seen from Xenodream-- like the edges where other planes seem to intersect and take us into other universes. And the incrediable color, of course.
KiDAcE

Admired the thumbnail a few times, but never had time to view. Fantastic painting !!

Just an all around super-well put together image! The woody texture and vibe are really something else. I especially like the wheels/gear shapes.

One of the most beautiful crosses I have ever seen. I'll put an e with a little triangle on it here for you. Copy this and put it in a text file, and if in the future you need it, just copy and paste. :)

Lord, it's good to see this again! Quality shows throughout the years:)
