My corporeal form lives with my wonderful wife and six eccentric cats in beautiful Sedgefield, but my dreaming body is frequently elsewhere, exploring the fractal universe and marveling at nature's chaos. I love traveling to places that exist only as mathematical constructs on my computer and bringing back snapshots that sometimes remind me of the real world (whatever that means), sometimes of metamagical worlds we can visit only in our imaginations. I trained as a biologist and run a small company specialising in science publishing - writing, editing, illustrating and typesetting. For 3D world building I use Vue, Daz Studio and Poser, but I've also used Bryce since version 2 and done some work with Terragen, Carrara and Groboto. For technical illustration I use mainly Illustrator and Photoshop.
Thanks for visiting my little corner of Renderosity, and to everyone who has kindly commented on my images or added my works as a favourite, thank you for that too. Craig.

Looks like a photo, light and textures are remarkable. Depth works really.

Excellent and very foreboding. Super ATMOS which lends to a vastness and great distance. Actually, you could have titled this 'one tree hill.' Just kidding!!! As a matter of fact, that lone tree really makes the render pop, IMHO.

Nice landscape!

the landscape reminds me a little bit to a cold lava - very cool render - a simple POV with a great effect

OM... This is absolutely stunning and that for 2 reasons: first one is the level of realism, and the second one is the moody composition and this lonely tree... An intsant favorite for this brilliant work!!
