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.

Very nice Tony! I'm not much on abstracts or fractals..but I may play around with the metaball thingie later..lol

Haven't played around with these, yet. Guess when they get too close to each other they mold together. Interesting feature. You seem to be well-versed in their use, Tony. I like your excellent use of gel lighting with abstracts.

The interplay you created with the metaballs and your choice in textures and colors are incredible here, Tony!

Nicely done Tony...so you've found the metaballs have you!These are great to work with,as Keith says,the closer you bring them together the more they merge.The wind-blown spires in one of my earlier postings were created with these-I duplicated them a few times,stretched them and grouped them to form all sorts of interesting shapes...endless possibilities!This is a nicely balanced render,like the textures and colours...glad to see you're having a ball(sorry,couldn't resist!)-Neil.

These are the trippiest meatballs I've EVER seen, but they're also the most interesting, beats the heck out of seeing em smothered in sauce!! Ok, I admit it, I have NO idea what you're talking about, but I still like this image a LOT; you always bring such creativity into all your art.

Meta balls are a lot of fun to play with. They give some interesting effects.

Cool mettaballing Tony. Just for some added fun and a very cool inverted result you can hold 'shiftkey' when you create a mettaball to get a negative influence rather than a positive one. Enjoy! Muis
