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.

You are fantastic at this modeling work, Tony. I certainly don't have the patience to connect all of those chain links and then get everything so evenly-spaced and in proportion to each other. Great render.

Very nice work, Tony. Great idea with the planet. Sometimes I think it might be a good idea to get all the world leaders together and bang their heads together... knock some sense into them. This could be symbolic of that!

Well crapola, now I know what happened to my desk toy, tsk-tsk ;-) Okay, serious, I know making chains is tedious, not to mention getting ALL objects spatially lined up, & I agree 100% with last part of e-brink's comment, you did excellent symbolic, thought provoking art here! BRAVO~Stephen~ :-)

Wow, this is incredible, I can't say anymore than everyone else has, except maybe each ball could be some politician's head!! Great work, Tony!!
