I signed up at Renderosity in 2000 and spent a few years being inspired by some great artists around here, and learn from them. I was moderator for the Vue forum here at Renderosity from 2004 to 2008. If you want to learn about Vue, or share some tips, I encourage you to visit us. IÂ am currently drifting away from pure CGÂ and more into digital painting. I wish your staying at Renderosity will be as warm and instructive as it has been for me.
BIO
I was born in France and currently living in the USA. I have a technical background in Computer Science and a strong attraction for anything related to graphism (from visualizations, image analysis to photography and computer graphics). For the past few years, my work in CG has developed into something a little more serious than a hobby, with growing aspiration to turn it into something professional.
I also have a personal website at : Linfa.net. It is growing slower than I would like but hopefully it is worth visiting. Among other things, this site contains my main gallery, a section dedicated to Computer Graphics called Tricks and Treats and a link to my Store, where you can purchase t-shirts, posters, calendars and other products using some of my designs.
My 'trilogy' of tools is Poser for characters, Vue Infinite for atmospheres and rendering and Photoshop for touching up. I am currently practicing with Painter (not much to show so far) and learning modeling with Hexagon and Zbrush.

The composition is fantastic. I've been sitting here wondering about the story and what's going on and the image is so well done. Great job.

::Grin:: beautiful!! Where'd you find the curtain? Or is it just a flat plane with a clever hair texture on it that I suspect (on CLOSE inspection) that it is?

Thanks for the comments. It took me a while to get the lights right, especially on the servant. LadyThorne: the curtain is the edge of one of those studio backgrounds covered with cloth. It is a 3d model but I don't remember where I got it. The texture is just lace heavily distorted by the shape of the drapes.

This is really nicely put together. The textures are wonderful, too.
