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.

You have a lot of patience to persist after all the crashes.This came out quite well and was worth all the effort.

Very nice scene...the lighting is great! (note: I had to reinstall Vue about 10 times during the last few weeks. After the message: Vue had run out of memory...bla, bla...there were always vital files, plant materials etc. missing ;o) regards Andy

Fantastic render Tony!! I don't have so much crashes anymore since updating Infinite to 6.6...but 6.0 or 6.1 was a real nightmare...Don't know what vue you've got, but I hope you have patience with it...You are very talented :)

Fantastic render of this underwater seascape, it looks very realistic, something that is awfully difficult to achieve in Bryce, I suppose!
