That's my husband David and I, and my beloved kitty Lucia. Lucia adopted me in 1996, and David and I found each other here..we started as best of friends, and are still soulmates. We were married in England on 6 May, 2005.
BIOI've been dabbling in digital art for about 6 years, starting with Bryce 3. I think I've improved quite a bit. I've been at Rendero for quite a few years; enjoy the forums and galleries. I do graphics mainly as stress relief, and also because I can't draw with a pencil and paper worth a damn! (Didn't inherit any of my father's prodigious artistic talent)
The main programs I'm using these days are Vue Infinite, Poser 4.03, 5 and 6, PhotoShop 6 and CS, and PaintShop Pro 7 & 8. I also play with Terragen and Mojoworld 2 & 3 (among others).
I don't really stick to one genre; I've been bouncing between nature scenes, portraits, with and without postwork, people, places, things, nature, animals, and fantasy. Right now I'm concentrating on texturing and lighting in Vue 4 Pro, and have been doing sprite images because they make me feel so lighthearted.
My sweetheart's name here is madasatadpole, and he's a very talented and creative artist. Please visit his gallery to see some stunning landscapes as well as some very silly humor! So thanks to Renderosity for not only being a source of information and fun all these years, but for bringing me the most precious gift of all. His dad also has a gallery here, madasadadpole, lol, please stop by and check out his lovely watercolors.

That is absolutely beautiful, simple and adorable - excellent work. Best way to learn the material room is just to play with it and look at how other people have built their shaders. Seek out the packs from 'Mapps' and 'Ajax' in the free area here, they make some of the best ones around.

Erk. Have fun with the materials. They're fun but you need a lot of patience to figure out what's going on. Lovely one here!

So far, so good. Looks like you're off to a great start. Wonder what she's thinking? As for tutorials, there is some good Material Room information in a couple of the forum threads at RDNA, and Dr. Geep has some info here: http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12356&Form.ShowMessage=1663563 Also try http://www.keindesign.de/stefan/poser/index.html and http://www.enmeshed.com/shadermagic/ Good Luck!
