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.

Oooh, I like this one a lot! It's moody and beautifully rendered. It evokes a zillion or so stories as well. The composition is top of the line, as is the execution, and your written description adds to the already rich and evocative image. I love this!
Mad-Mike
Wow Keith, that's a tremendous file size and render time the original! but this is a stunner indeed. love the way the water is, and also very good mountain structure! cool idea! and the light from above is cool! Glad you liked your dedi I did for you!

Lovely piece of work, Keith. I like the format because it give it depth. Great overall feel to this and nice colour palette.

Wow!This is definitely worth the render time Keith...like the modelling,environment and the water with it's transparency you've given it.I think the real finishing touch is the light shining through the slight hazy fog...very well planned and executed!!!

Spooky, eerie, masterful piece, exceedingly well done! And you know, it really would make a wonderful scene of the walls of Moria, if only the buildings were replaced by the doors of Moria...hehehe...hint, hint for future render...grin

What a wonderful and magical place you've created, Keith. Just beautiful and great story about the history of it. Excellent perspective, cliffs and their textures. Great water and barren foliage .. fantastic work again!
Tanglimara
What can I say Keith, another stunner, you're certainly getting the hang of this modelling. This is a great scene and I love the way that excellent structure is built into the rock face. Excellent POV and atmo. Another fav. Tony :-)

This is an incredibly complex piece of work Keith, so I feel that its only right that I put in the same amount of work on my next post! Its so intricate 'grafting' the lements of the structure into the rock face (as has been said already) but I have to repeat it. And, as always in your Sci-Fi (or lighthouse) type images, it leaves one wanting to explore every element, and I wonder what the civilisation was like (as I like to do!) Excellent!

Beautiful work!

Hi Keith this is just wonderful the terrain lab can be very interesting learning and such with surprises you do beautiful work sweet sunshine to you warm hug, Linda

Strangely enough, your description brings to mind the hillside structures of the Native Americans, places that were abandoned for reasons unknown. Beautiful render, Keith, and your narrative makes it even more real--I love this!!
debz

Breath-taking point of view and composition , Keith. What struck me though is your extraordinary lighting of the scene, which is absolutely marvellous. A stupendous job you've done here.

Excelent scene making Keith. The blend of natures work with those from another civilization creates a very mysterious atmosphere. Great work on the fog too. Muis
