This is a new version of an older image. The previous version was more about the light rays. This is more about the eagle itself. Hope you like it. Thanks for viewing :o) _jim coe 

I'm continuing my quest for photo-realistic 3D modeled human figures. Here I combined 2 commercial 3D figure models and changed over a hundred parameters for the skeleton pose, muscle groups, materials, etc. The lighting is simpler than most of mine,... 

As a science fiction story illustration submittal, this image had to perfectly match over a dozen critical and very specific story details. So I did a lot of 3D modeling of props from scratch, as well as repainting of commercial model's face and clot... 

This is my 2D rendering of a 3D modeled scene. It doesn't seem to need much explanation. 

My 2D render, from my 3D modeled scene, of a commercial 3D human figure called "Rio", by Danae. Contains 85 3D objects. I used 8 light sources. 

An interesting building in my neighborhood and an example of a straight-on camera point-of-view to enhance the abstraction. 

Another in my series of building walls. Thanks for viewing! _jim coe 

Been thinking about this concept a long time. Happily, I found a Hubble Space Telescope image (Dwarf Nebula) that was just what I wanted for a background. Enjoy! _jim coe 

Another of my 3D modeled scenes, rendered by a virtual camera to a 2D image. In this scene, I worked to create a complex but believable fantasy future machine with blended materials and transparencies. Thanks for viewing! _jim coe 

I'm really getting into using my 3D modeled scene software to create abstract geometric images. As usual, this is done with a 2D virtual camera inside my fully 3D scenes. Thanks for viewing! _jim coe 

Another 3D abstract, using different glass materials and a spot light with volumetric "sun beam" lighting. Thanks for viewing :o) _jim coe 

My 3D modeled mountain scene has 3 separate terrains, is made from over 2,671,000 polygons and contains 49,514 plant models. It's intent is to improve my terrain and cloud making skills and to improve the realism of my natural environment modeling. ... 

One of my 3D modeled sunset scenes, based on the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. 

On the long voyage, the Asimov's zero gravity deck was very popular with the Colony Ballet team - and their Lighting Director. Another of my 2D renders of one of my 3D modeled science fiction scenes. Thanks for viewing :o) _jim coe 

One of my recent experiments in night photography. This is one of those driveway mirrors which help people see into a street from a blind alley. My hometown uses halogen streetlights, illuminating everything with just one color - almost like a sepia ...
