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

Ohh Rob, Buddyyyy!!! this is fantastic. Ohh man, what a terrific landscape. You know, I am very partial to them. Before I was a Poser nut I was a Bryce freak, lol and made hundreds of images, not such as good as this one thou. This is simple great, pal! The textures are terrific and ambiance is just perfect! Right on!!!

Rod, that's really something else. You really have a great facility with Vue and I can hardly wait to see what you'll come up with next. Awesome.. and with that render time a testament of your patience too! hugs I know about the blue funks.. I've been there too. I'm glad you're coming out of it.

AWESOME Rod! This is gorgeous! Have you been in my back yard?? Hmmmm?? Looks like the trail in the pasture, where our horses are! Beautiful image!

Super start Rod. I'll send you some render tips too that should cut back on render time. Indeed the larger the image,the longer the time.

A beautiful Vue scene you have created here, you are making great progress. I haven't found that Eco-painter tool yet so you are a way ahead of me. I hope you have a great weekend.

WOOOOOOOOOOW! VERY COOL Rod! LOVE the lighting in this. Can hardly wait to see what the girls will be up to in this scene.
mikeerson
this is so cool... it ALMOST makes me want to get into vue - lol... I just don't like the fact that I've been in poser over 5 years and feel like I only know 10% of the program - lol... I have so much crap in my poser files that I don't remember what is what - I'll think of an image to make and I'll say, can't do it, I don't remember where that prop or figure is.... so yeah, I steer away from vue - for now - but I love what you created here.
UteBigSmile
Looks superbe dear Rod, but 34 hours of render-time, I would became mad while waiting - Lol!!!!

That is freakin' awesome! 34 hours ... it's a good thing you have 7 or 8 computer systems! LOL! Don't let your head explode, dearest ... I like what's inside it too much. :X

I don't know the details of what you're learning, and not being a 3D artist I have no real sense of what it involves; but if this is something you're doing "in the meantime," I don't know if I could take it when you get it all together, lol. This is marvelous! The slope of your image is looming and beautiful. The break into mists & clouds, equally so. The detail of the ground---ie, the grasses as well as of the soil---is splendidly complex. Your light on the ground is very strong (setting off the shadows all the more). And the way it all breaks into open sky on the right is wonderful. A magic, enchanted fairy-tale landscape, wonderfully bright and playful and filled with terrific detail. Love it. I like it so much I don't wanna see anyone else on it, lol. I don't know anything about how you add people to landscapes in 3D, and I'm sure you'll make magic when you do. But this piece is wonderful.
