I originally came here years ago when I was playing around with Bryce. I had many issues with the program. Hard learning curve and my inexperiance. I pretty much gave up on it. As the years went by I tried Mojoworld and a few others. Dabbling here and there for a week or two with pretty much horrid results.

Durring the last 10 years or so my main artistic focus was landscape photography and photoshop. I'm not an artist so I took pictures. During that time I guess a few things changed. I know how light works now. I know photoshop.

A year ago some health issues cropped up that put a damper on my photography pretty much permanantly.About a month ago I picked up Vue 7 and started putting some serious effort into learning it. A month later and its coming along fairly well. I'm having fun and again have an outlet for whats in my mind.

During the last month a few things about Vue have become very clear. Its only a part of what makes a good picture. I use Geocontrol for my terrains and photoshop all my renders. Without the other 2 programs I doubt I would be using vue.

As a beginning vue artist I don't know how good my work is but I do know that without the backround in photography I would have been lost.
