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 tell you Robert, each render looks more real than the last..!! Excellent

The thing that strikes me strongest here is the absolutely real lighting- there is a subtlety here in the slight glow and ambience that is beyond a photo. I think this is the first time I can smell the dryness in the atmo and feel the warmth from a TG image. The dispersion of your vegetation looks spot on to me. Outstanding.

Great perspective. Haziness and terrain give a great feel of a warm, dry day

Really real-looking, but now that you can emulate a camera (because your so good with this version), where do you go from here? This is going into my fav's.

Uh-uh, Bob. This won't do. I'll have to report you - posting a photo and trying to pass it off as Terragen. Yeah, it's that good - lighting, POV, object placements are dead on the mark! Your best yet!
