I've been requested by Neonmob (a trading-card social network), to make a big set of more than 100 pictures. As I had freedom on the subject, I searched for base shapes that I could vary sufficiently so there’d be a relationship, and yet each shape would be different from all the others. I ended up representing an index of fake radiolaria inspired by SEM imagery and the incredibly detailed illustrations of Ernst Haeckel.
I've started only with geometric base shapes in TopMod, a topological mesh modeling software (although it’s no longer developed, this free, useful software has unique functionality).
I then took these shapes into Cinema 4D for fine tuning and rendering, and finalized the image in Photoshop.Digital Art, Illustration2013 -
I wanted to create a series of pictures representing mathematical shapes on white background, like a "tribute to mathematics" that I often use in my work. I chose the "strange attractors" for their dynamic forms and "chaotic feel". Because I'm not a mathematician, I relied on several sites. Including one especially, very complete with free plugins for Cinema 4D making possible to configure these shapes easily. The site is in German, but Google translate did the job very well, so many thanks to the author !Digital Art, Illustration2013 -
Following a project for a client, which involved an iceberg, I wanted to create a series on this theme. I used Acropora ("a procedural voxel modeler" from Voxelogic) to generate several icebergs starting from the same base and varying some parameters. I did the same for the "bodies of water" and I imported them into Vue for a caustic rendering. I then had to make several renderings for each image in order to obtain the dusty-glowing horizon line break I was looking for.

The idea of this series was born when I discovered the software Mandelbulber. I spent many hours walking randomly through the presets included with the software. I made many renders that looked like macro photos of a strange tiny world. So I decided to amplify the "macro" effect on Photoshop.

While I was working with World Machine on a personal project, I noticed the very detailed images generated by the flow map of the erosion device. So I tried to use the flow map as a final image rather than its usual use of texture map for a 3D terrain.
The general appearance of the flow map made me think of the veins of a leaf. So I used this similarity to create a series of "eroded leaves".

Asteroïds made using the "planet mode" of e-on Vue 8 in conjuction with procedural terrains, making possible the creation of unlimited unique Asteroïds with the same functions.

Trees and terrain generated with Vue. I started by creating the terrain and then I searched for the tree that would best suited to each of them.
