Hello!! Thanks for visiting. First off, if you are a Bryce user, you may find some things of use at my Web Page. FREE Models, Textures, Skies, Tutorials, etc.
About my art: I have been digitally creating since about 2000. After seeing the old "Bryce Forum Gallery" (Bruce McLeod), I was driven to get Bryce and try it out. I got my hands on Bryce 4 in late 2001. I learned by experimenting and reading quite a few tutorials on-line. I learned even more by trial and error.
I dont have one particular style/genre. I go from Landscapes to portraits to dark style images. My mood usually sets the direction of my work.
Prorgams I use: (The main program for all my images. Lighting, textures, composition, rendering) Bryce 5 others- Poser 4, Rhino 2.0, Corel PhotoPaint 8.0 (used for the majority of my postwork.), Universe Image Creator, Photoshop 6.0, UV Mapper. Using a Mouse (someday I will get a tablet!!)
For now, all my photos are taken with my Nikon L1 digital camera.
There are a lot of 3d/digital artists I admire and respect. The list is very long. But a few are: Woodhurst, David Ho, Agent Smith, Bogwoppet, Beton, OCDDoug, alvinylaya... and many more.
About Me: I live in So Cal. With my wife and 2 cats. Work a 9 to 5 driving all day. Enjoy Hockey (NHL; LA KINGS). Good Horror movies, 70's rock and modern progressive rock (e.g. Dream Theater), True Crime books/TV... and Seinfeld!
Thanks for reading, and in the meantime, I am always striving to better my abilities.

Nice. Very Blizzard feel to it. Well, the theme almost. But nice work on the sand, as that was your main focus. The bump mapping, etc came out probably the best that Bryce would do.

Cool piece, and your sand texture is pretty good. On the whole a great scene...;)
vela

:) That's a familiar thing to see. Nice scene. Though the sword looks a bit plastic, but that's probably because of the concentration on the sand ;)

"Playing around" seems to lead to very interesting results. Your sand looks perfect, and the picture is definitely much more than mere accident. - Keep on playing! :)
