Dream 9 Art

This tutorial will show you how to create the effect of “caustics” and depth for your underwater renders in Superfly. It was created in Poser 14 but should work in 13 and maybe 12.  Step 1 Firstly, you are going to need an image file of seamless water caustics in black and white. There are several free and commercial caustics generators out there. One such free generator can be found here. Or you…

This tutorial will show you how to be able to currently render with dynamic cloth in Poser 14 which does not yet have a native Cloth Room. Although I indicate using Poser 13 in this tutorial, Poser 12 will also suffice. It has not been tested in Poser 11 Pro, but it should work in it too. Step 1 First, in Poser 14, create your scene and load your chosen figure that you wish to use the dynamic…

*wolf whistle* Austin’s a pretty bird! Kissy, kissy! *smooch* Date Published: January 19, 2026 Notes Austin was my pet Pacific Parrotlet from 1999 to 2011. He was an unbelievably talented talker. One of his favorite things to say was “Austin’s a pretty bird” and make whistles and kissing noises. Of course, later in life, he started putting words together and creating his own phrases. For…

Parrotlets are the chihuahuas of the parrot world. Date Published: January 17, 2026 Notes This was inspired by my memory of the parrotlet I had way back when named Austin (1999-2011). He had a Napoleon Complex like no other. My dad had a friend, Steve, who was well over six feet tall, and Austin (coming in at a total 4 inches from head to tail) would get on the floor and chase him while…

Fun fact! Puffins are extremely social animals. When researchers used one-legged decoys, Puffins responded by emulating the decoys’ stance. Date Published: January 10, 2026 Notes This image, while cute, is actually based in fact. There was a project, Project Puffin, to bring Atlantic Puffins back to Maine. It had been 100 years since Puffins inhabited Eastern Egg Island. Dr. Kress used decoys of…

2025 is almost over and I have already started a few projects for 2026. Below you will see the characters I have in the works for release in my Renderosity storefront in the new year. Link I thought I had this character finished and ready for submission to Renderosity but then I took another look at her and decided she didn’t look quite right. What doesn’t look quite right? Her skin shader. She…

It’s difficult to reflect on what was never there to begin with. Date Published: December 19, 2025 Notes The idea/concept for this artwork is one that I originally came up with way back in 2009. I’ve only created one other redux since then, in 2016, so it was time to revisit the concept once more. I started with a new scene and tried to fix all of the issues I had with the 2016 version and then…

Not everyone is able to have a happy holiday. Date Published: December 17, 2025 Notes I created an artwork with this title and a similar mood back in 2019. This isn’t a true redux though because I changed almost everything including the core concept, I think. I originally had the camera aligned to show the letters and phone on the left side, the depressed woman in the center, and then the tree on…

It’s the most wonderful time of year, the time when the limited-edition flavors of specialty coffee are released! Date Published: December 16, 2025 Notes This is a total redux of an artwork I created a few years ago which I decided needed another chance. I remember that the original idea for this came to me while drinking one of those specialty coffees from Starbucks. (I believe it was a mint…
