Arthur C. Clarke's Maelstrom II: G Suit Complete / Rail Mountains

Dear ACC Maelstrom II cast, crew, consultants, and friends,

my apologies for my radio silence. I have taken 6 months leave from ILM to work on the premier planetarium show for the re-opening of the California Academy of Sciences building in the Golden Gate park, SF.

We continue to move forward on Maelstrom II, with the completion of the textures for the G suit:

...and a beautiful digital painting of the lunar south pole mountains:

Special thanks to texture painter Youngkyu Kim, 3D modeler Jon Varner, and digital painter Niall Booker.

Best wishes.
