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.

What a tranquil place. Hidden from worry and troble....and noise what we don't want.

Really lovely view, that would make staring at the computer-screen a great deal more bearable! On a side note: I'm glad to hear you like your iMac, I've got 3 of them (One is my "TV" for watching movies and Netflix) that sometimes assist me with rendering stuff. It might be worth it to keep the old PC around if you can shove your rendering tasks onto a second machine while you go back to work. At any rate, this is a really nice landscape, it certainly looks peaceful!

yeah, I'm one of those 10 percent Mac users too, having used windows & linux (which I like for open source, but I prefer Mac), and I know there's a difference. I know windows is everywhere, and there's more software for it; but the lack of viruses, the much stronger protections and closed ports, and the user-friendly nature of the system won me over a while back. I'm glad Vue works nicely on it. I know not all visual software has a Mac version... As always, with your landscapes, you have highly varied lighting, dappling your landscapes in many directions, and capturing mystery, beauty and something primal as well. Wonderful how the light in the back of the island is so strong, pointing us to places beyond. And how it dapples the ridge in the foreground. The rest is play with shadow and the repose in shadow; and your particulars---the rocks, the grasses, the creek line & the mix of trees against those clouds---are beautifully chosen. A beautiful work, sensitive, and inviting. And once again, I wish you a wonderful holiday (New Year coming up). I know it's hot there (unlike here!), but it's still a holiday, a solstice, and I hope yours has been wonderful, Craig.
