My baby...luv my Jeep 4x4. Do I take it rock-crawling and off-roading? Hell no... No way, no how...... ÂÂ
I have been working with 3D digital programs for about 6 years time. My first experiences with the world of 3D digital art were Terragen and a terrain generator program called World Machine. After learning Terragen, I moved on to Bryce where my major interest in creating landscapes, SciFi and interior space renderings now lies.
Other programs which I experiment with and use are Vue7, Apophysis and Incendia. Postwork tools I usually use for enhancing the original renders are PSP Pro X, PhotoScape 3.3, Paint.Net, MGI PhotoSuite and FastStone Image Maker. Occassionally I also enjoy taking photos with my Nikon S52 Digital camera. Here at Renderosity you will find works of mine using all of these mediums.
As an artisan, I have always had a deep love and respect for architecture, especially modern and future design development. You will see that reflected in some of the 3D renderings here in my gallery.
Originally, I'm a Northeastern United States native (anthracite coal region)....half Welsh, half Bavarian in ancestry.... and live some 1,400 feet (about 475 metres) above sea level in the Appalachian mountain chain along with my Shih-Tzu, Max and my cat, London. However, I prefer the lure of the beach and ocean and especially love the Chesapeake Bay region of the East Coast. ÂÂ
Take a few minutes to look thru my gallery and leave a comment or two if you like. Everyone here at Renderosity is unique in their work and individual abilities.  Personally speaking, I have been blessed with the friends I have made from around the world and for being a part of this community for the past 5 years.

On a side note, I appreciate those who have made me a favorite artist and those who have favorited any of my images. It would be greatly appreciated, however, when making any individual a favorite artist, that you comment now and then on their work. Many here like to 'collect' people for their own statistical purposes and never acknowledge an individual's work with a comment; especially those who have never uploaded an image or render themselves. If you favorite an image of mine, then leave a comment posted to that particular work in the galleries.  If you add me to your favorite artists, then stop by once in a while and leave a comment to my work.

Superb textures and background! 5++

A wonder picture Keith. Impact or not there is peace inherent in this lovely image!
Chipka
Oooh, I remember when this happened! There was quite a hubaloo over it and with good reason, impact events are pretty awesome...and this lives up to that in so many ways. I agree with e-brink, there is a sense of calm inherent in this image, but part of that could just be from the grandeur of space itself! This is a great image.

Is it Titan? There's plenty of moons to choose from! I love the light coming over the horizon But then I'm a Sci-Fi lover and Sci -Fi where Jupiter is concerned is pretty much reality now with the probes.

Titan is of course near Saturn.. so it can't be that moon (besides with the clouds there one would not see a thing :) It is sad that we were not there to see it.. It must have been a great event.. Much light.. no sound
Jed
Awesome lighting and terrain work...Love the reflections in the sphere! Great work Keith!:))))

Really great image. I like the way the rays of light come out, and also it has kind of a smokey feel to it in that area. And great terrains! Thanks!
Kuiski
a very cool work with a fantastic light! Nice done. :D
Vik9740
awesome image...love those rays.. ya think i can get some sun? :)

Actually, since this is so close-in a view, we are viewing it from the moon, Io. There have been 63 moons circling Jupiter already discovered. Altho, some may only be the size of small asteroids.
evinrude
Whoa. That is rather trippy. Great work. BTW, Keith, in the material editor, there is an upside-down triangle near the mixers with a submenu for lighting models. Ones that give interesting results for planets are: Fuzzy, Additive, and Distance Blur. You can get some surreal and dreamlike effects.
lucindawind
wow this is fantastic! you.ve been tripping arond the galaxy I see hehe !

Awesome space scene!!! One of my favorite comet the Hale-Bopp!
beachzz
Wow, the pearlescent colors are just astounding; I also remember when this comet was around. It was one of the most awesome events and I would go outside every night just to look, couldn't get enough of it!! This is wonderful!!

Wow Keith, this is a stunning space image, I love what you've achieved with the skies in this one and the terrain work is fantastic. I agree with other peoples coments in that there is a surreal serenity about this image. A fav for sure. Tony :-)

I know for a fact how difficult it is to render light beams in Bryce, and I am astonished by your skill at using Bryce masterfully. This is state-of-the-art Bryce artwork!
