Celestial Bodies

An unusual project, Celestial Bodies is my first major attempt at a series and is also a good excuse to do lots of weird stuff. The basic idea is simple enough: Render the Solar System in human form. Each piece in the series represents a number of experiments, mainly in the Material Room. Where possible, I try to create the effects within Poser using cunning node mathematics rather than a hand-made JPEG texture map. Actually, it's not that simple now that I think about it. Fun, though.

History

I originally started the Celestial series on accident, while experimenting with materials. The following pieces are the original unfinished entries, some of which were remade or rejigged to create the new series.
