In my galleries, you will find many works, all done using Poser characters in Bryce renders. For my particular style of artwork, Poser and Bryce seem to work together nicely for me. BIOMy real name is Walt Bagley. I joined Renderosity while using a screen name, which has hung with me ever since.
My artwork evolved from the standards --- oils, acrylics and inks. A while ago, when the first really good computers began producing great graphics opportunities, such as my Amigas, the traditional forms of artwork lost some of their appeal for me. The promise of ever-increasing degrees of realism in this digital world has created a sort of new frontier, where I feel that sort of excitement explorers might have felt coming upon a new island or when an archaeologist uncovers something new. The last uncharted islands have since been found, and almost all of the various wildlife has now been documented, even as they still find new forms of life in the jungles around the world to this day. But finding a new place, hidden behind a fog bank someplace, is only a dream for fiction these days.
That is sad for those with an explorer's spirit. The next frontiers are too far or much too difficult for most of us to visit, such as the depths of the ocean and the reaches of space. That's why I find great excitement in the field of computer graphics. I am excited by the ability to create realism digitally. And there it is---a new frontier, which gives people like me something to wonder about and wait for, excited about the next step in this ever-evolving field. And when I see the work pouring out of the Hollywood studios, utilizing more and more computer graphics, I realize that the power that created that will soon belong to the rest of us. This technology grows exponentially, it seems. And to spur the imagination of those of us looking for something new, this field promises few limits and the realization of dreams.

I love the mist over the water and the feeling of serenity. My little minor nit pick is that the texture on the bottom of the dress looks a bit similar to the rocks, so it looks like the girl is some sort of rock lady! But as I like the idea of her being a rock lady I think this image is sensational:-) Great work, well done.

very nice

Very nice picture with many nice details. the upper (black) part of the dress is in strong (too strong)contrast with the rest of the picture. You could maybe add bit of lightness to it, or lower the contrast some other way. At this light setting, that strong black color shouldn't exist. Black should be more like the shadow on girl's right arm (a bit darker than that).

This is stunning. All of it.

As far as black is concerned, it has been stated that it should be the same color as shadowed areas. Not exactly true. Shadows are only darker versions of ambient light. Something black is much darker than any shadow during the daylight hours. Nothing here is black but the top of her dress, so no fair comparison can be made. Also, on my screen, the dress and the rocks are totally different in texture and color.

I agree on that the dress is not what it should bee. At least in my eyes. But what we all want is different, so of course it's up to the artist. Anyway the dresstexture looks very computergenerated to me, when the rest of the picture is very good.
