Hi, my name is Karl Stöcker, and I was born a long time ago, way too long, in Berchtesgaden, Germany, grew up in Düsseldorf, and since 1966 have been in the US (mostly). I've traveled a lot, 46 countries by this time, and I am planning on many more. I've spent a couple of decades in the US military, active and reserve, and since retirement from civil service, worked off and on as a high school science teacher in a suburb of Sacramento. Ever since my original ID's Doom days, back when it was just released on a floppy disk as a free level advertisement, I was interested in learning about 3D CGI, but I didn't get started until I retired from civil service in 1996. Since then I have been working with Truespace, Bryce, then Lightwave 3D, and Vue. Also dabbled a little in Poser 4, but just bought Poser 6 and am starting sink my teeth into that a bit. My website, http://www.cosmic-pearl.com/, has more details on me, should anyone not be bored to tears by now, also there are LW Viking ship and Star Wars X-Wing tutorials, as well as downloadable meshes (which can be imported into Vue, BTW) - my free stuff to the CG community.

The reflected Vue-scape within LW looks awesome ! Neat work all around Karl, wee crit...the position of the right arm seems a little odd, maybe if you bent it out from the upper arm and had the heel of the rifle resting against his chest or right shoulder, it would look more realistic, just a suggestion and still a great result ! ~Cheers~

Nice! I like the contrast with the beautiful landscape combined with the danger/death that the Terminator represents.

Now A Joker B, I really like that thought, Terminator vs Master Chief. There could be a video game title in there. Send it to UBS or some other game company and see if they take to it.

I really like the composition in this image. It's also good to know that you do your own modeling. Good work indeed.
