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.

Well Tony. Your persistance with getting this beautiful image completed sure paid off. For such a short time using Vue, you are already very, very good. And what a difficult subject matter to tackle. Water isn't easy in any medium. Superb job and I look forward to viewing and enjoying your future works. I love your name too. Another Toni

I agree in the clarity-problem - but anyway it's just a so beautiful picture you've made... :o)

This is a beautiful scene. I'm sorry Vue is crashing so much. There are lots of threads here and at Corn on how to fix this problem. :)

Wow, Tony, this is rather cool! I do see what you mean about wanting to make it a bit clearer, but still, it's a nice render! It's also amazing that you ever got it done with Vue continually crashing like that! Surely there's a fix for that? I hope? I'd be going nutsy if I had to try and deal with that, myself! Good work!

Very well done Tony...love the light rays,and the depth in this image is great.I don't think I'd change the look,it seems very natural the way it is with the hazy look to it...another great render and I like the use of the program in the title!

This is wonderful! Underwater is a very difficult medium and you have done a fantastic job of it.Vue is challenging as well..in my opinion. The color is lovely and the light is right on. Glad to see you expanding your artistic wings with new programs..keep up the good work!

Now that is smart. Looks like an aquarium, you can almost see the plants move. Did you get wet making that one?
