Grafx - Boring3D - Jimmy Maidens
Some months ago, I bought his “They’re bananas, Reverend” mug, and since this day, I use it at work. All my co-worker are jealous and I hardly can hide the source of such a nice render (Of course, I’ve already spread the url everywhere).
It’s a real pleasure, each time, to browse his archive, remembering pictures, reading titles (Half the pleasure of it is reading the titles, can you believe it?). Boring3D is far from being so, for sure. That’s an amazing bunch of renders, done, as I can guess, pretty quickly. They’re often sharing the same shaders, lighting recipes, but there’s a bit of “je ne sais quoi” in each of them.
The guy is now working in the bay area for PDI/Dreaworks mostly doing lighting job if I get it well. How fortunate you are dude. 
Well, San Jose was pretty dull and totally boring last time I was there (GDC), I hope you’ll keep the vibe to render some more touching pics.
