I am new on the Forum and am trying to understand it's layout. A self introduction. I am SNAKEY , well, that ain't my true name but my real name translated in english would be Cobraking, so snakey is not bad, huh??

I am from India, age 39, married , lovely wife and 2 kids. I have been through a lot with this 39 yr old body. Been through two heart attacks and a bypass surgery after at the age of 33 and then a Gastro instestinal surgery followed by a Spinal correction surgery in January, 2003. A patient of hypertention, A diabetic...... list is endless.

I am half dead, right??

Well, I feel that way sometimes. I can't eat what I like, I can't drink what I like, I can't go where I like , I have to.... as the doctor says and I have to as my body will take. So, a prisoner in my own world but I never say, die..... I'm a fighter and will be so, till the very end. One thing I have learnt. When you loose 1 thing, you gain 2 more and have experienced it. So friends, No real regrets here.

I started my art in PHOTOIMPACT 6 then moved to PSP6, learnt unlead cool 3d, xara 3d, then back to Photoimpact 7 for more. Animation is my passion even till today. With new wares coming up, I was introduced to Poser4 and Bryce almost the same time. I fell in love with Bryce. I loved working with the terrains. I had earlier been working in Terragen and I found that to be cool too.

Some of the simple animation work I would like to share with you all and here is one sample. Hope you all like it.

The base image is pencil color sketch by Barbara Jensen who is a eminent color pencil artist. The animation is mine using Photoimpact 8 and Animation Shop and related wares. The animation has been done with due permission from the artist herself, so please do not worry about copyright infringement of any kind. ( now that was an advance note to the moderators, wink wink;);) )

Hi Snakey, welcome to the forum :) Thats a cute animation you did........I've been using photo impact since version 3 I really like it...have version 8 now, and still use psp for some things. Take care, see ya around here, Teri R

Greeting Snakey and welcome to our happy little home. Another diabetic eh!, I've had diabetes since age 9 and it's now 33 years later and I got hit with the complications last year. No fun at all I say. I really like your little animation and look forward to seeing some of your Bryce work too. Hope you enjoy this place as much as the rest of us and are here for a long stay. 8) Catlin
