I enjoy creating artwork in Poser, Photoshop CC, Vue, and DAZ Studio. I also have a passion for photography, and have been actively shooting for many years. I've been using Poser since Version 8, and am also learning my way around DAZ Studio. I've been using Adobe Photoshop since version 4. I also use Vue 10. I frequently use my photos as backgrounds, and composite my 3D figures into them.
I have been creating my web comic / graphic novel "The Girls From T.N.A." since fall of 2009, and have been a member of Renderosity since August 2009. I've made a lot of wonderful friends here, and have been inspired every time I visit!
I will soon have a more complete biography, as I am updating everything. In the meantime, have a look around my gallery!
Thanks!
Rod

Looks great! Perhaps a little more atmosphere and light play and you'll be well on your way with this. Great work for your first render with Vue. Lets see more :)

your treatment of the creamery reminds me of two painters, Andrew Wyeth & Edward Hopper. It has that bleak beauty, and that mix of bleached harsh light with deep shadows. Fine work with the lacy porch & balustrade to contrast with the broad shadowed areas around it; and fine work with the decay of the wall (exposing brick) and other types of decay throughout (ie, in the house shingles, in the vent shafts---if that's what they're called---, etc). I don't know what it takes to make all that light & shade, but it results in an expressive & highly complex structure. And you put it all in a landscape of rich greenery mixed with an almost barren ground. Fine sensibilities, could be northern New England or deep Midwest. If this is your first foray into this version of the software, you're off to a helluva start. My favs haven't worked for a bit, and I've been too lazy to fix them or write to the admins to fix them, so I haven't used them lately. But this is a fav. You can take my word on it, lol... (On the chance that you don't know Wyeth or Hopper, here are some samples. They're way too small---go find a huge jpg of art online! But they make the point. Four Wyeths, one Hopper. Not the funniest artists on earth, not known for their one-liners, but they sure knew how to capture the power of bleak mystery of abandoned spaces...They're here, here , here , here , and here .)

Five hours??? What dedication. But I can't wait to see you grow in Vue too. This looks superb and could easily be a building we'd bump into on our backroad adventures.
