My name is Tony Shaw and I have been working for a UK Bank since I left school in 1983. I have spent from 1990 working in their IT department as a software developer. With the threat of redundancy hanging over me next year, and having written a web-site for my Dad, I decided to train myself up in web and graphic design and as a result found Renderosity.
The graphic tools I'm using in my spare time are Adobe Photoshop, Bryce, Apophysis, Terragen and Vue ... I don't have any particular favourite as they all have their good and bad points.
I have not posted some of my very early works as they are quite basic and would not look out of place in comics, however I hope you will take time to browse through my gallery so far and any comments, whether good or bad will be greatly received as they will keep me motivated and hopefully improve my designs.
Happy rendering.

Excellent work,

Great looking space render, Tony. I think your attempt has turned out awesome. I especially like the surface mats you have used on the terrains which you have constructed, and the nebula and 2 moons add depth. The 3 space crafts add movement and an additional point of interest to the render.

I love the terrain and the ships, you also did a good job with the surface of the moons. If you use Photoshop, you might be interested in a couple of things for these kinds of shots: This is a tutorial for explosions in photoshop, but it works really well for nebulae as well, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1dAedHmsuk Also, there's an awesome couple of plugins that aren't too expensive for Photoshop: www.flamingpear.com - Check out "Glitterato" for starscapes, and "Lunarcell" for plantets/moons. This is a very cool image, and I thought you might like these added tools.
