My name is Oliver - Retro among friends - and from my point of view the world started existing on November 9th 1971, I have the honor of being a citizen in the Kingdom of Denmark and I've lived most of my life in the royal capital of Copenhagen. I've had many jobs over the years; from serving in the King's Own Artillery Regiment at the end of the Cold War to dance club security at the beginning of the 21st century, but 5-years apprenticeship in the late 90's means that I can call myself photographer. I've never really liked labels, but I needed something to put on my business card so today I call myself "Independent Photographer/3D Artist/Freelance Writer" but the truth is that I see myself more as an observer who use photography, 3D art and short stories to present the rest of the world to my vision of it.

" Now, if this was a science fiction movie, this is the part where the brilliant boy genius that everybody has been ignoring up to this point, pipes up and tells the balding Captain that by cross linking the Warp Core, the Impulse engine and a reverse framistat, then dividing the warp field lattice by the square root of last Tuesday, he can get them all home."

"Ah, I see Tailspin is out raptor hunting, and that without telling me! Such friends I've got!" - T.Rex. Great looking render. Nice work on the old photo style. Keep up the good work! :-)

So glad you posted this one......this looks so photo real, the background is a perfect match and just takes this to a whole new level.Always nice to see the models used, but I'd have built this just to see this one image.Another instant fave.

When my Dad returned from Vietnam in 1968, he played a reel to reel tape for me. He had been recording a tape to my mom when a mortar attack began...He headed for the bunker without turning the tape off. He played it for me once and then erased it. During the attack "Spooky arrived...the sound of the guns was like nothing I'd ever heard before...four quick bursts and no more mortar fire. Your render brought back that memory...

Good job!

Out of the portside windows... you will not see very much until the dust clears. Nice work on the monsoonal heaviness of the locale and the terrain background. These days, Aussies can get deja-vu in Vietnam - too many eucalypts.

Like the treatment here and the way the terrain is handled in the render
