BIOI started working with CG-graphics in all kinds of demos when I was about 8 years old.. I'm now 17 and has settled on the programs Photoshop and Vue Esprit. I've got XFrog 3.5 which I use to create my vegetation.
I also play music. I sing, play the guitar and the trombone. Spring 2005 I recorded a few numbers and mixed them on my computer. You can listen to a few tracks on my website,
I've got my own website. Here you can find a lot more info on me, more tutorials, free models, some of my own music, etc. Feel free to visit :)

wow..let me be the first..fantastic..one of the best waterfall pics I have ever seen. Mist effect - just amazing.congrats
Tammy
I love your POV, the surrounding foliage and rock is fantastic. The only thing I might change is the water texture at the top of the falls. But Ive never been close enough to a beautiful waterfall to see the water at the top either :)
linwhite
Oh man this is awesome. I'm not sure I'd mess with it to change a thing, but I sort of agree with Tammy that the water might need something...Maybe a plane covered with a pebble/rock texture under clearer water. The mist is just fantastic. The POV and all the other aspects are A+. I think this is actually one of the best I've seen...very real. You did great!!!
guitarzan
This is very good. I agree with the replies above about the water. maybe try using a foamy water material and give it some motion blur. I think that would give the impression that it is moving swiftly. overall this is one of the best waterfall pics I have seen.

Yikes! Another fantastic effort Thomas.
Sacred Rose
Excellent image! Did you use a combination of alpha planes or straight vue?
sackrat
This is fantastic,.....the mist is excellent ! I agree with the others about the top water,...maybe a little more specularity and reflectivity,...I dunno. But once again the mist is superb. How do you do it ? I just tried to do an image with fog and heavy haze but failed miserably, I just began using Vue about 3 months ago and I love it, but as far as doing a misty scene like this,....I am vexed in the extreme. Good job, I look forward to your next image.

I like this a lot. excellent work here

Hi thomas, this is like your first waterfall extremly well done, most thing about the water has been said, so i was thinking of the texture of the rock closest to the camera, maby you could rotate the texture, iIm not sure if it would be better, but it feels kinda strange right now.. I hope you dont mind me saying this, since I know that not all like to get comments about possible improvments.

Thomas, I have to agree with the others... This is one of the bestz waterfall images I've ever seen. About the water everything's been said, so I don't know what else could be improved besides this. Excellent work!!!
Djeser
WOW! This is amazing. Textures are awesome, pov, mist, everything. Outstanding job.
thomaskrahn
Thanks everybody :) I'm very glad you like. And Bonker... I'm very keen to hear helpful comments :) Sacred Rose : There's quite a lot of aplhaplanes in this image. A lot of the waterfall is alphaplanes :) I'm very gald you like it. I hope to make my waterfall nr. 3 even better by remembering all the comments :)

I'm speechless... this is a powerful waterfall image. :o) Now what about doing a quiet waterfall next? :o)
Phlegm_Thrower
all right... Great POV and excellent textures on the boulders... now time to nitpick... 1st, the edge of the waterfall is still too straight Tom, maybe u should make it a bit curvy or irregular... second, the mist is a bit too high i think and like the others saidm it should be reflecting sunlight a bit more... and speaking of which, when the sunlight is refracted through a fine mist of water, a rainbow is created... at least that's wat i've seen in some of the waterfall i've seen... how would u make it? i'll leave it all up to u :P
thomaskrahn
sigh... I'm not sure I'll ever get good enough to fix all your critic-points. I've been doing some research and many waterfalls are actually this straight... But i'll see if I can fix it next time :)
icedragon
WOW! Images like this inspire me to render, render, render - and maybe one day, in about 100 years, I might be half as good :) Well done!
mafenther
Tom...that looks great...but what is with the squiggly thing at the top of the pic?
FA-Q
This look even better than the last one you made...I like the bottom, right coner.. the rock and bush look col, great job with the water...
thomaskrahn
Squiggly thing? I don't see no squiggly thing... what are you talking about?
MissMira
