Been doing this over a year now and I'm still not quite sure how to define it. Is it art or not? Can we be said to be really creating our images, given that we're using computer programs and models made by others? And, for that matter, what is its official title? Personally I call my work "using Daz Studio because of a total inability to draw or paint." It doesn't exactly trip off the tongue. I suppose it doesn't matter in the end. As PG Wodehouse said, it makes me happy and keeps me out of public houses.
My main influences are Manet, Edward Hopper, Caravaggio and Pieter Bruegel. The first two gave me an interest in realism, the third created an addiction to light and shade, and the last nurtured my overall misanthropy.

Why Is This Here?
All my renders are there, including the ones I hate. There's also a rag-bag of assorted writings and photos.
I've also recently started a blog about this whole business:
Can't Paint Can't Draw
Thanks to everyone who's submitted Free Stuff to this site - especially some of the wonderful Vicky textures. Sorry to anyone who I don't credit. It's down to the disorganisation of my hard drive rather than an evil heart.

Hello! You have a good eye for perspective. This reminds me of my very first picture i posted here years ago. Looking at your picture i would suggest a different water mat for your spring. The one you are using is good for close ups on water. You need a water mat that gives a look of distance. Also your resolution on your terrain could be bumped up some. Also try using multiple terrains for layers or just adding more detail to it. Looks good though. Keep at it. Its a real fun program to learn...I learn new stuff every time I use bryce. Just be patient and it will come to you over time. Keep in touch and i will help you as much as i can. Also, try posting help in the Bryce forums...alot of brycers there willing to help out too... Take care!

A very good first attempt. I've been having a lot of fun with Bryce since my PC went on the fritz. I like your composition here, lots of details. I agree with Tabou that the water material needs to be changed here, and that the terrain could use more details. Later on, you might want to play with photo textures for your terrains, it really increases the level of realism. Overall, this is a very good first attempt. I look forward to more!
