My baby...luv my Jeep 4x4. Do I take it rock-crawling and off-roading? Hell no... No way, no how...... Â
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. Â
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.

This is great. I like the rolling hills and the lightning in the distance. You did an excellent job on this piece.

Another great image. You are the master of atmospherics in Bryce.

This is a great image! I love the vague otherworldly quality that it has...partially because of its starkness, and because of the plants themselves. They look a bit jagged and like something you'd find in some remote corner of the African savanna. Great work and an excellent sense of foreboding mood.

Chip took the word right out of my mouth - foreboding --scary looking sky here, time to hunker down inside and stay dry!!

Excellent render, Keith. The atmosphere is very realistic the way the low mist is hanging back into the mountains and the superb work on the lightning. Outstanding work and the panoramic view is perfect for the scene. (A 10 from here :) if I could.

Excellent work Keith, the narrow view certainly give this one added depth. Wonderful rolling hills and I like the addition of the lightning. Tony :-)

I can feel the static in the air, the approaching storm and feel the air and the sand beneath my feet. What more can I say?
Vik9740

Hey Keith this is a very good one again! I love the lightning strikes way out there, and the sand is very nice! also the water is very nice how it is up against your terrain! great one!

Great contrast of colors and atmosphere...really brings the effect of a storm coming... Excellent....

I got an ominous feeling of being caught in an imense storm with no shelter to hide under at all. Supreme work done on the atmospherics Keith. Muis

theconqueror
Superb job...
leeatsjt
The mood of the image is so good I can almost feel the anticipation of the storm coming. The coloring is excellent!
lightstormcrow
I like the feeling of this, it reminds me of a fast moving storm moving across the Panhandle of Texas or New Mexico. The reflection on the water helps give the work life as the water laps at the sandy shore...Keep up your good works...
