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.

Nice work on the landscape. I wouldn't call it boring at all. But it IS very barren and unwelcoming ;-)

Really nice scene. Great terrain, textures and lighting! Excellent render.

Not just the atmosphere but the excellent rock strata on this one.. very nice even without all the extra goodies... and your right, all of the other stuff would have made this less impacting with it's simplicity.. the right choice in my opinion...

Perfect. Not "boring" at all. So realistic and moody. I love the low hanging clouds and the terrain texturing.

As an old Terragen user, I'm impressed with your results here. Sharp, well defined terrain and surfaces (some displacement maybe?). Clouds, atmo and lighting are perfect for this. Congrats on an excellent image!

Nice terrian and a clouds looks cool too.

Boring you say? I have been to places like this and they are awesome to behold. Though I may not choose to live in a place such as this, I do marvel at the beauty that comes from it. The sights, smells, sounds, I highly suggest to everyone to visit such a place if you can and spend a couple of days square in the middle of it. And if there is a storm on the way in, even better. Wonderful image!

Boring!?!? That's an incredibly fascinating terrain! I can easily see why you would take a photo, this is magnificent. Such amazing colors and textures, That would be such a cool place to play!

Very nice landscape scene!

This is fantastic! I love empty landscapes; they have so much potential and they spark unexpected stories. Empty is never as it seems...someone probably lives there and whoever they are, they're bound to be interesting. The details in this are wonderful, as is the sense of realism. This works perfectly without strange ships flying around and it would work perfectly with them as well. In short, I like this a lot!
Darkwish
