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.

It is okay on Mac with a monitor calibrated for print, so it should work on a PC! Excellent moody landscape!

The lighting on this seems to really evoke the darkening cloud-filled sky on the approach of a storm. And the lush green foliage even adds to the coming onslaught of rain. Very well done, Craig.

wonderful scene .. love the subtle reflections on the hills' edges
Andor
A great scene - and it's not too dark.

Well done. The lighting is perfect for the raining effect.

It is actually just right. Rainy days don't need to be really bright. Love it!

Nice work.

Great moody sky. I love the landscaping you did with all the varying levels. The trees and lush greenery are great. It sounds like we are having the same questions regarding Mac versus PC. I calibrated my Mac for a PC in the settings and I'm told now my work is showing up for Windows users.

Wonderful scene - I like the look of all the growth. The lighting seems fine on the PC and not to dark. The rain looks off though. Rain normaly falls at a fairly uniform angle - even if you seen it in a heavy wind it will fall in the shape of a curve based on the streangth of the wind. Suggest it could be a bit more narrow? - Check that the clouds are right type for rain, though it works fine for a partial cloudy sky where you get rain and the sun is out - a bit of reflection/refraction would help though then.

Reminds me of Mayan ruins. The lighting is perfect on my PC. The rain does look a little funny though. Maybe it's really windy.? Love the new GG avatar by the way.
Lunastar
I too am reminded of ruins. The lighting looks wonderful to me. I'm on pc.
