My name is Tony Shaw and I have been working for a UK Bank since I left school in 1983. I have spent from 1990 working in their IT department as a software developer. With the threat of redundancy hanging over me next year, and having written a web-site for my Dad, I decided to train myself up in web and graphic design and as a result found Renderosity.
The graphic tools I'm using in my spare time are Adobe Photoshop, Bryce, Apophysis, Terragen and Vue ... I don't have any particular favourite as they all have their good and bad points.
I have not posted some of my very early works as they are quite basic and would not look out of place in comics, however I hope you will take time to browse through my gallery so far and any comments, whether good or bad will be greatly received as they will keep me motivated and hopefully improve my designs.
I also post my work to my own personal web-site at http://www.tony-shaw.co.uk. Feel free to have a look, and a laugh as there are some images on there that are so bad I wouldn't dream of putting them on Renderosity.
I'm lso a modrator on a great Australian site called Digital Down Under. You can see this site at http://www.digitaldownunder.net/
Happy rendering.
Note: I've been teaching my wife how to use Bryce and Apophysis recently as she became interested in trying to produce her own images. Her username here on Renderosity is 'Debz' and her gallery can be accessed at http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/browse.php?username=debz
