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.

Whoa!!! I see you have tried out the new spline tool with superb results. I love how the path winds through the hills and farmland just beneath that lifting haze. Very dramatic scene for the search, it almost looks as if the sky is shining spotlights through the clouds in cooperation. Wonderful work!!

Wonderful composition and realism, Craig!!!

Looks great! Nice atmosphere and feel of depth. Now, I've had my eyes on that future helicopter from C3D for a while, hopefully it'll turn in one of my renders soon as well :)

Great landscape. I like the crops all lined up and the cleared path. I'll have to finally look at how to use splines and such. Excellent atmosphere.

well even though I've only done 5 images (with this one), I have to stop for now, as it's been around an hour. I had to do something new, so as not to neglect your latest work. (I told tara I'd do shadows too. That'll be a near-future session...) There's definitely a search for something going on, and as your narrative states, the search revealed nothing. But you also have a wonderful moody and spacious landscape, suitably covered in mist, to suit the sense of searching for activity that's elusive to the chopper. The chopper is strong, but almost fits into the landscape, at least enough to not be intrusive. And it casts a fine shadow on the path. The two roads are wonderfully diverse, the flora and land is (as always in your landscapes) detailed & very realistic. The background is suitably grand but hazed-over, and your light is also typically subtle & dramatic at the same time. It's one of your signatures, I think. A daytime scene, covered in a veil of mystery and seclusion---even in such a sweeping landscape---and another piece that---because of the mist and the chopper---tells a tale that's implied (and an inviting tale at that). More sensitive & fine work from you. I'll be back again, as it's always such a wonderful pleasure to be here. Hope your fall is going splendidly, and thanks again for your wonderful visit. (And I have some questions & thoughts on your wonderful fractal comments recently, and I'll write to you about them soon...)
