Hydromedusa, Polyorchis karafutoensis

A tribute to Alexander Semenov photography. He found this medusa in the Sea of Japan. More of his awesome work on this site: http://coldwater.science/about

Flowers

An exercise I made inspired by a photo I saw in DA by Zevnovphotography. Vray5 features are quite a treat to do look development.

Cell Cross section and Print shop

A few months ago I joined a community that has been around for quite a while called Deviant Art. I have really enjoyed the experience and I find the site really good and specially fun. I am starting to share my work in this community and sell it as prints. From now on, I will render HQ versions of the work I upload here to ensure the print has great quality and crisp details!

The first work I put in DVA shopt is a section of a cell. It is available in A3. I have been working in medical animation for a few years now, and visualization of cells is one of my favorite things to do. I am really interested in it because you learn a lot from the pharmacologists about all the processes that occur inside of our body. It usually involves building procedural setups that I am building now with Tyflow and rendering the images with Vray.

As always you can download and use the image, if you would like a print in high quality please visit my Deviant Art or Curioos shop.

Thank you so much for reading and your support.

Lion’s mane Jellyfish

Another practice doing the Lion’s mane. I am using Vray5, Tyflow and a combination of Phoenix FD and Trapcode plugins for the environment.

Lion’s mane jellyfish

A take on one of the biggest jellyfishes. The Lion’s mane is a giant. It is also my first image using Vray5, I really enjoyed the upgrades and new features in the render engine and also the upgrades in the viewport of 3dsMax 2022.

Aspergillus fungus

I have been recreating fungus in 3ds max, here is a version of Aspergillus. Its mainly mold, you can find it in trees, leaves, almost everywhere. This environment has been rendered using Vray and I used Tyflow to model the fungus.

Condylactis Gigantea A

We are building a anemone garden and this is a new one we want to have in our deep yard. This anemone grow very large, in this first approach I didn´t modelled her big enough, so she is a little one. This is a first shot, I received feedback from the scientific team and I have to re do this. I wanted to still add a few frames to this blog, because I like a lot the mood of the images.

The flower of the sea

78. Paradoxes

.

Nothing in the world

is as soft, as weak, as water;

nothing else can wear away

the hard, the strong,

and remain unaltered.

Soft overcomes hard,

weak overcomes strong.

Everybody knows it,

nobody uses the knowledge.

.

So the wise say:

By bearing common defilements

you become a sacrificer at the altar of earth;

by bearing common evils

you become a lord of the world.

.

Right words sound wrong.

.

Lao Tzu – Tao Te Ching

Translation – Ursula K. Le Guin

78. Paradojas

.

Nada en el mundo

es tan suave, tan débil, como el agua;

nada mas puede desgastar

lo duro, lo fuerte,

y quedar ileso.

Lo que es suave se sobrepone a lo duro,

lo débil supera a lo fuerte.

Todos lo saben,

nadie utiliza este conocimiento.

.

Así que los sabios dicen:

Soportando impurezas comunes

te conviertes en sacrificador en el altar de la tierra;

soportando maldades comunes

te conviertes en el señor del mundo.

.

Palabras correctas suenan equívocas.

.

Lao Tzu – Tao Te Ching

Rock Flower Anemona and Halitrephes Jellyfish

Recently the Nautilus expedition spotted this jellyfish called Halitrephes Massi 1200 meters deep down. She is very rare and how beautiful. I took it as a reference to create a version in 3D, I did a little animation I will post here and a few render frames.

I also did this Anemona, you can find it as a Rock flower Anemona, there are so many different species you can never get bored with all their patterns and colors. This is all done with 3dsMax and After effects.

Jellyfish Aurelia aurita

A few frames of new work I am doing for http://www.orejademar.com, we are doing an undersea environment for a video. This time I build a jellyfish known as Aurelia aurita, they are food for Mola Mola fishes, so sunfishes enjoy a lot being around them.

I am working with 3dsmax and also used Tyflow to grow the nerve patterns. I rendered a few frames in its modelling pose for this blog.
