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 ;)

Man... that's bloody impressive!!!

Very nicely done, especially with the ship set against such as great backdrop. Sounds like you are going through the pain I had with Vue 5. Sounds like waiting a year and for a few more bug fixes is a good plan.
Rutra
Excellent composition. Your texturing on the ship fits it perfectly. The light and the clouds are the cherry on top. Very good!

That sure is a nice scene, those clouds are fantastic! Nice to know you've been able to use it on a Macintosh, I just downloaded the beta yesterday and I'm interested in testing it out.

Beauitful scene! I love the results of Vue, but personally I can't deal with the crashes (and I'm on a PC).

Great scene and atmosphere! The new render engine definitely seems to work fine and those clouds came out great.

Nice global lighting and those spectral clouds are looking very realistic. Kool test and result, not to mention that funky space craft, I've use it also. ~Cheers~

yeah, wild ship, great clouds. Thanks for the info on Vue 7. I'm hoping to get it while the sidegrade is available but your warning is worth noting. Looking forward to future posts and info on how good it is or isn't.

Superb image - great sense of scale and magnificent lighting/atmosphere. I still have a PC, exclusively for Vue - unfortunately it's far more stable than the Mac version...
