I'm a painter, turned illustrator, turned designer from Seattle that now makes a living as a senior creative director in middle of the desert in Phoenix, Arizona. Life is strange to say the least. A few years ago I returned to painting, through traded my Winsor brushes and Golden Acrylics for Poser, Vue, and Photoshop, and have since resumed doing commercial illustration for a select clientele. I mainly work in 3D, but almost everything I do is overpainted until my wrist hurts as I just can't roll with squeaky clean stuff - it's not in my nature.
Recently my work has appeared in Ballistic Publishing's EXPOSÉ, was added to Steve Wozniak's personal art collection, been featured at MacWorld San Francisco and can soon be seen on limited edition tee's at Barney's New York and Fred Segal Los Angeles.
I'm married with three cats and can't seem to have less than ten Mac's in the house at any given time... you never know, I may need that bondi blue iMac for something one day ;)

Nice render, glad they're addressing some major issues for Mac users though they've managged it so quickly you'd think they could have addressed them prior to selling it!!!! Enjoy, it is better abd faster at rendering

Every time I look at one of your Vue renders, I want to ditch Lightwave forever and good. I love the warm natural backlight on the foreground objects, its wonderfully soft and atmospheric. Combined with that spectacular sky color and clouds, it produces a very evocative image. It feels full of anticipation of an adventure to come, to me. Very appropriate for the New Year.

Really impressive work. Those clouds are fantastic.

That is an amazing sky, I am going to have to get V7 no way around it! The lighting looks go real and you got that quailty in that short of a time, thats amazing.

Very nice scene! I love the sky, both the clouds and the fading color near the horizon. (I'm having enough problems using Vue 7 on Vista - every time I reboot, it tells me I have an invalid activation -- annoys me to the point that I'm still just using Bryce)
Notilize
Really cool.
Biffowitz
A wonderful and totally believable scene, I like it.
macmondo
Excellent Image. Sorry to hear you were having so many problems. Vue 7 is running almost flawlessly on my Mac. I got lucky I guess.
DangerousThing
Very impressive!

Super image Jacob. Glad to see you're able to use Vue 7 on the Mac.

Very unusual model and perspective, and the clouds are fantastic. Bravo!
