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.

I really like how she looks in a VUE world. VUE has always been incredible for background mats. Wonderful work on this one.

the light quality is splendid, an almost sheen of haze and mist on that beautiful rock arch. And the water whispers...in a muddy green-yellow. And the inclined rock of the bluff she's standing on is rendered in your usual fine detail and layers and strata. The light---from behind---is intense and obliterating; and it gives this piece an almost apocalyptic air. A late day image (or early morning) with a feeling of revelation around the corner. The woman is done in oranges which help her stand out but also blend (with the rocks behind her). Beautifully done, a wonderful mood in every bit of it. Beautiful.
(Btw Craig: if you get to that Koosie file, a word about the "Bach" influence: I didn't use strings in the manner of Bach's time---ie, historically informed performance. I thought about it, as I have the samples and I know the performance methods...but I didn't think most of my listeners would enjoy that as much as full-bodied modern strings. So I played it with modern, vibrato-laden strings instead. I don't know if that matters to you, but since you're a musician, and I have a feeling a very devoted one, I wanted to say that in case you're aware of historically informed performance practices...I didn't think you were going to 'turn me in', lol, but still. For the sake of accuracy...)
