Previous image: Fractal landscape
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.

I saw a photo just like the top one on Richardphotos gallery earlier on (Grand Canyon). I like the moody image at the bottom too.

Wow they are both fantastic in different ways!!!! Majestic canyon is reminiscent of Grand Canyon with a beautiful sky!!!! The lower one looks like the mountains out of a JRR Tolkien novel!!!!! Excellent work!!!!!!! Incredible and intense!!!!!

Amazing realism! I especially love the top view. The second one is lovely and moody. Superb terrain work. I've yet to try Terragen. I really like what you do with it.

The top could be the Grand Canyon... beautifully done. Vast land there. The bottom almost looks like a distant planet/moon. Excellent on both

The top view has a painted, picture post-cardy look. Very cool atmosphere, really brings the eye into the space. The bottom image looks like a space station wouldn't seem out of place here. A somber simplicity. Amazing how the same landscapes can look/feel quite different according to the lighting and perspective. Well done!

Awesome - I was always a fan of Terragen - good to see what can be done with it in the hands of someone like yourself with a good feel for landscapes.

With a new computer I'll start using TG 2...I have one now...I just haven't set it up yet...TG 2 is a different program and requires different thinking....I don't know if I'll ever get there....you did good!
