It's fun being an early adopter and practitioner of 3d art, and seeing how fast it has grown in such a short time. I remember in the 1980's seeing Pixar's 3d knight in the movie Young Sherlock Holmes and thinking I really want to do that someday. Back then they needed a Cray supercomputer just to do the rendering. Today we can churn images like this on decent desktop machines. It is truly liberating to create an entire virtual world, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us all.BIOI first started creating 3d art in 1993, with the advent of KPT Bryce 1.0. I was an avid beta tester and contributor of images to the old HSC and KPT galleries on a very young AOL. Since then I've served on the faculty of every Brycecamp, consulted on the initial concepts of Mojoworld, and added Vue, Carrara, Poser, Mojoworld, Artmatic Voyager, and Electricimage Animation System to my arsenal of favorite apps.
I enjoy doing the occasional still life, but landscapes are my passion. I really enjoy being a 3d artist and using the creative and technical sides of my brain at the same time. The chaos of nature is difficult to recreate, but we keep getting better tools and faster computers. Instancing tools and fractal driven distribution schemes have taken us a long way to recreating that chaos and realism.
I love creating virtual worlds and environments and some day soon I would enjoy putting these skills to the test in a feature film or game.

Ultra-natural!! The surf to beach transition is excellent!

beautiful scene and great colors.

Some beaches in California look like this also...your beaches are excellent...

Amazing depth. the sort of depth of field you would get with a wide angle lens but without the distortion such a lens would cause. In terms of depth of field without distortion the computer can outperform the camera. Great atmosphere as well.

I like the painterly effect. Great job!

Thanks everyone! Yeah the computer camera is a marvel - this is actually a long telephoto (look at the size of the sun) but you get the unlimited depth of field of a wide angle lens sans distortion. I'm glad you like my beaches - more will be coming soon - maybe in the tropics... Thanks again : )

I lived near the pudget sound, and your image brought back wonderful memories of lazy days hunting for oysters :)
