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.

WOW, you can almost hear the roar, feel the earth tremble -- amazing piece, Keith!! What's also interesting (for me, at least), is that I understand how it feels to blow like this and for some reason, this image captured that as well.

That's a pretty dramatic effect, Keith, as if you'd captured the very first seconds. Amazing!

Excellent image Keith! Super terrain as always and excellent work with the erupting volcano!

This is a stunning piece of work! I love the plume of ash, seeming captured just as it's begun to blow. There's that sense of calm surrounding everything still, while the very beginnings of a catastrophe roar upwards. Fantastic rendering and a wonderful mood captured here. This is a top notch composition and I'm glad I saw it.
KarmaSong
Wow! this is a striking and stupendous piece of work, Keith! You've managed to make your scene look superbly realistic , with this dense and massive cloud of ashes and the sense of stifling suffocation when such phenomena take place. Excellent Bryce, as always!
