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.

Reflection-based photos are hard enough as it is, but to make them in a self-created image: I can't even think about it, lol. I know that when drawing window reflections, one has to work very carefully. You've got a whole image of a reflective window, with the wonderful ambiguity of reflection playing with what's outside the glass: So well done---the piece is taken over by it. And as a room with a view, it's sweeping. Your light is very reflective (no pun on reflection, above), as it draws us into a very inward late-day state (could be early too, I realize). The feeling is of a beautiful room that takes on the character of the universe the minute we enter it. Nice furniture & design details too (man this place has to cost a fortune, lol!). And they're all swept up into that looming sky behind. Beautiful work once more, Craig. A beautiful evocation of looking out a huge sweeping window to the world...

Very good render!

This is outstanding! Looking at this, my fingers fairly itch to get back into 3-D work. I can't imagine ever doing anything that approaches this level of quality, but it's fun to try! Your lighting choices are superb, and I LOVE the way you handled the window. Wow. Amazing work, my friend!

One word, well maybe two, "absolutely stunning". I'm in love with the lighting, it's so warm and inviting. I think that is very hard to do with such a modern structure composed of cold glass, but you achieved it with flying colors. It brings out the character in the wood wonderfully. Then you enveloped it with beautiful vegetation. Masterpiece!! Well done indeed, I just love it.
