My real name is Thomas McCann, I was born in Buffalo N.Y. in October 1952. I currently reside in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia U.S.A.,........I attended the Maryland School of Art and Design and studied Fine and Commercial art. I began working in traditional media at age 7 (mainly pencil sketches), then worked with watercolors and arcylics in high school. I started working with digital media about 11 years ago (1996), using Metacrations "Detailer", a 3D paint application. I currently use mainly Bryce 6.1 and Cinema 4D 8.1 and 3D Studio Max 4.2 for modeling and tweaks. I am currently learning Rhino and Zbrush. Thanks for your attention.

Excellent work! I love the expressions on the two up front. This is a very involved scene. Bravo to you for all your hard work!

this a very excellent render

Nice effort on the historical scene. Excellent!

Not bad. Being a WWII buff I must point out that the the Firefly is primarily a British tank, we would have had the 76L. And although I like it overall, you have mixed action in the scene. I.E. running and relaxing. Good job.

I think its a great historical render. Like the poses of the soldiers and espressions.

Not being a WWII buff, I wouldn't notice what type of tank you were using, but I think the buildings could stand to look a little less pristine. Maybe you could beat them up a bit? At the least, make them look like they are old (if not bomb damaged). In any event, it's a well constructed scene.

Not bad, but it's pretty...erm...clean, for a war zone. I'd try to rough the place up a bit. And i agree, it looks a little strange to have one man running, as if into battle, and two others just lounging around. Well constructed, aesthetically pleasing overall, just a few little snags that stand out to me.

The whole image sums up the tumult of war to me. Amid the mayhem as the division moves forward one unit temporarily stops to consult the map. Great scene!

War scenes aren't my cup of tea but I have to say this is EXCELLENT work!!

I don't have a problem with the guy running. He could be jusy obeying orders or rushing to pass on a message. In all the (US) war movies I've seen , there's always (US) guys lounging around waiting for the next piece of action. I agree that the buildings look a bit too 'clean' for a war zone, but let's not forget that there were indeed areas of Europe that enjoyed a damage-free war. Great job! Vote!

excellent work here !! I do like the composition and I have no idea what tank that is..I just like the little story this image tells..and the characters in it..! well done

It's a great scene, even if the buildings are more Dutch than French. KIDDING! :-)

Excellent job. I do wish somebody would make decent fitting uniforms for Poser though.

Really like the render and the stairs.You used the textures very well.The 2 green blotches in the front kind of bug me though.

Excellent piece of work.

I had to laugh about the uniforms not fitting properly. In the WWII photos my father had none of the guys had properly fitting uniforms on. They did have nice looking dress uniforms, but the ones for out in the field were always a mess. I say you did an outstanding job on this one. The combination of havoc during a war, running, and relaxing in the same scene is very realistic. Thanks for a great scene. Excellent work, by the way!

Cool WW2 scene,but in all the WW2 scenes that I've seen the GI's that lounge around waiting for orders or what ever are smokeing a butt (no one is smoking here. Don't get me wrong I think that this image is really fantastic,it's just something that I noticed. Really Excellent Work!!

Your sense of composition (In all the pieces I've seen) is excellent!! You really know how to arrange things, like a director. Excellent work!
