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 tony - very suspense atmosphere here

Great use of Keith's terrain again!! Your stormy water has turned out well for your first attempt and the tilting of the ship has certainly given the impression of a stormy sea!! Great work!!

Coming thru that rocky passage, wind begining to build, would cause the ship to lilt and the wave action turned out very well for your first attempt, Tony. I got the 4 planes so screwed up on my first attempt at this type of wave action, I put it away for another day...lol. Again, you used the terrains to your advantage with great reconstruction and mats.

Excellent realistic image!

Beautiful scene, Tony and great use of Keith's lattice terrains. I have found that terrains work well for waves on water. Takes some playing with, but gives good results. Excellent work on this, love the sky.

Great image Tony,like the POV and your use of photoshop for seagulls!If you want a stormier sea use a terrain(or group of them),preferrably a selection like "mordor" or something jagged,increase the size,flatten slightly and render as either a preset such as "atlantic" in the waters,or just as a grey with very low reflection(the water will pick up the colours and lighting from your scene just as in reality)...Neil

Hi Tony' not only did your render came out just fine but also your presentation with the inclusion of the frame ads a good painting quality to the image as do the colours. You can try using 'shipwakes' found in the freedownloads to add more realistic effects to water and ships. Muis
