BIO
My real name is Lars, and I live in Denmark. All my life I've been drawing and making pictures, occationally as a "professional" but always with an amateur ("for the love of it") approach.Being a proficient airbrush artist, the jump to computer graphics (Photoshop, Painter) wasn't all that hard for me, it was just a question of understanding how to employ the techniques to this new medium.
In july -02 I dug into the world of 3D rendering for the first time, in Bryce 5. A truly fascinating experience! My computer has been rendering ever since ;o)At the beginning I thought I'd be making lots of sci-fi stuff, but something happened right back from the early Bryce days: I started to look at trees and nature, the sky etc. in a new manner, or more intensely at least. I've always been a big fan of beautiful landscapes, and instead of sci-fi, I began a "quest" for 3D landscaping and beliveable environments.
Over the years, the 3D rendering has more or less taken over my creative endeavours. Vue became my application of choice from the start of 2003, with Poser, XFrog and Onyxtree as auxilliary programs. Plus a whole arsenal of new and ancient freeware, to be mentioned are Bantam3D Grass and Plantstudio.

well done with the clouds !!!

It could just as well have won and anyway is definitely far better than the runners up at second and third place. Anyway you got to the final at least! Now I don't know, shall I "gratulera" or "kondulera"? ?

No lie, I was thinking about doing an image similar to this. But, I just don't have those skills up to par yet. Great work and congrats on being in the top 12!

Thanks for your comments so far. For "vintorix": Ingen grund (anledning) til at "kondolere", selvfølgelig er det fint nok at komme i finalen :)

I saw your Lost Tracks image among the finalists and felt it should have won. All those details! Just exquisite!

I dont like "competition" as the judges just have their own taste, I think they all are good....but glad you made it to the twelve.....nice render

Nice composition, my friend. Good metaphor. The scene itself is very evocative. I can hear the insects, the rustling in the undergrowth, the whisper of the strengthening breeze, the slow, almost stealthy flow of the brook / stream / burn. I can feel the trapped heat, smell the musty, dusty trees waiting for that heavy rain, and the slight smell of wood smoke, and burning beans ..;o) somewhere. It also gets the old mind working. How did we arrive here? What were we looking for? Who was reading the map? In fact, where is that guy? What should we do next? How long will it take us to get back. How long would it take us to learn how to render anything like this? Stop! Too much mind-wandering. Let's set some priorities, folks. Where's the apple and pear fruit drink and those delicious local 'munchies', and how come my back pack is just about empty? I can't possibly have eaten it all. Can I? ... Can I? Warm regards, from a drizzly late July in Glasgow, Scotland, John.

Yep, this is why I didn't submit an image, you've done a magnificent piece here, I'm so glad you made it into the finals, well deserved!

Hmmm... that's cheating, cuz pretty much anything with train related stuff in them, I'm going to be a push over for, so yep!, this one rocks! :) Makes me want to do like when I was younger and walk along the old tracks for miles and miles, since they were out of use. ................md :)
