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.

i only ever tried vue once Tony but in my opinion it is better at landscape images than bryce and nearly as good as terragen ... this is a superb piece of art and goes into my favorites and i really hope that you keep going with this as you have sure talent with this program!! ;o)

You did well. I like the tutorials at www.geekatplay.com . They have taught me the interface as well as reinforced the idea of tilting terrains to get the effect you are looking for. Keep working at it, I think you'll get to liking the results you will get.

Wow, if that's trouble getting to grips with it, I wonder what will happen when you are! Looks really good, in my opinion.

Thought you might try Vue in the end, Tony. Stick with it. it's very much like Bryce really, but does the landscapes and atmospheres better. It can be a bit unstable though.

That's a fantastic scene! I love the lighting and the atmosphere.

Excellent light and DOF and modeling. Just could use a bit of ambient light on the dinosaur shadows--seems like something to be wrestled with in all programs.

Whatever grip you have on this it's very good. This turned out great. I'm sure that you will master this program in no time at all. Splendid work!!!!

One of the best Jurasic scenes I;ve seen. Superb lighting and background really shines in this piece.

If this is your first attempt and your grip isn't so hot, we're in trouble; this is fantastic!!

Well, shoot, Tony--I'd say it's an amazing image, especially for the very first attempt at using the program! I know nothing about Vue myself, but it seems to me as though you've done a very nice job on this! I hope you do some more with it!

Great first attempt Tony...the lighting and ATMO is great in this!Am trying to figure out Carrara 5 Pro right now to see what that can do...but I still find Bryce easier to work with...Keep up the effort,it will pay off!

excellently done!!!!!!!
