I am a developing artist working on improving my abilities to create beautiful digital landscape compositions. Without the help and suggestions of the many fellow artists in this community, it would be a long time before I reach the next level.
BIO
I am a retired procurement professional who has long had an interest in photography and painting; and, lately in computers and photorealistic natural landscapes. I hope to become more proficient and perfect my abilities to produce acceptable work. My experience in art started at a very early age when I would spend many hours sketching and painting. I had instruction at The Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois. I did some freelance work for Flying Models, Model Airplane News and Top Flite Models creating plans and illustrative construction sequences for magazines and kit models. I had spent more than 20 years designing, building and flying radio controlled model airplanes...a very rewarding hobby for me. During the 1970s, I spent 11 years in the hobby of "bonsai"; the Japanese art of miniature trees. In my first 7 tree entry in a contest, all 7 trees were awarded ribbons in various categories. Japanese landscaping became a passion for me where I completed a 3 year project creating a Japanese landscape around my home in Oak Forest, Illinois. I also did this work for several other people in our community. In 1987 I moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I currently make my home. The love of the American southwest and all its beauty is where I wanted to spend the rest of my life. Now that we have computers, digital cameras; and, Terragen; I'll have enough to do for a long, long time.

I think your continuing mastery of TG2 shows in all your recent uploads. Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to climb to that peak and take a look around.

Great work Bob! I love the way your ground coverings have developed! Along with your use of -terrain, trees, rocks, etc.- it gives the scene a greater sense of depth and perspective. Going 3D is the greatest advance that Terragen has made! Glad to see you making full use of it!

I don't see any limited abilities here. It's a purely gorgeous scene. I especially love the lighting and color palette you chose. It's simply beautiful.

Your use of the fractal shader to blend this together is impressive Bob. I also like the sky in this, just enough high altitude bump, perfect!!!!!
