Renderosity's Member of The Month - April 2015

Renderosity would like to welcome you back to our monthly feature highlighting artists that have had a profound impact within our Gallery Section.

In an effort to acquaint our members with other members in our Community, Renderosity is featuring a member from our Gallery Area every month. Each Member of the Month has given us a few important details about themselves and their art which others may not be aware of. This also will give others a chance to explore a new genre of art and hopefully tie our Community closer.

April's Member of The Month is: miwi

You may know miwi as the Renderosity member with the black unicorn as an avatar. He's been a Renderosity member since September of 2000 and specializes in Fantasy and Fractal Images.

Learn more about miwi in his own words.

(Renderosity) What is your background?
(miwi) My real name is Michael Wischniewski and I live in Germany, Wuppertal, where I have worked for over 40 years for a pharmaceutical company as research scientist. But now I’m retired and my children are all grown up already, I even have my first grandchild.

30 years ago I started with computer graphics and am now enjoying my retirement and pass my time with gardening, my family and creating new images and stories. For creating new graphics I usually use the programs like Bryce, Photoshop, Ultrafractal and Groboto. I appreciate the easy handling of the programs and how I can transpose the ideas I have for my pictures.


(Renderosity) What is your main tool of choice?
(miwi) The first programs I’ve worked with were Photoshop, TrueSpace, Bryce later came Painter, Poser, DAZ 3D, Ultrafractal and XD. I appreciated the good and easy handling of the programs. Poser and DAZ 3D I only use to translate the Files into obj Files. And since I have the time, to deal with several other programs, I am now trying myself on DAZ3D and Poser although I still prefer Bryce.

(Renderosity) What subject do you most identify with?
(miwi) The Fantasy section is the subject I can identify myself most. As child, I already liked The Mists of Avalon and other fantasy Books. The affection didn’t change, it just became manifold. Mythology, Science Fiction and Horror and every related genre of Fantasy keeps me fascinated. A World within a world with other creatures, history and so on is a very catchy to my mind. A really good story draws a picture in your imagination and a the question “how it would be to live there?”. My own fantasy gives me enough space to arrange my ideas.

(Renderosity) Who is your favorite artist?
(miwi) My favorite vendors are 1971s for his fantastic models and nursoda for Brulba, Koit and many other beautiful figures. The artists at the Renderosity I like most are Wolfenshire, Egzariuf, byteline, Soffy, eegdog, drifterlee, Hendesse, Juliette.Gribnau to name just a few. My favored section is gallery "what's new" Bryce, Photos and fractal.

(Renderosity) Any tips you would like to share with the Community?
(miwi) Yes, don't try just to make a good looking picture, follow your heart to do it. Your picture must tell a story or give a message to viewers.

(Renderosity) What is your favorite section on Renderosity's website?
(miwi) I would suggest, in order improving Renderosity, for prime members, to leave the choice of 10 Images á 500kb, or full resolution up to 5MB to publish. In addition I would like to see more sales for prime members.

(Renderosity) What are you currently working on?
(miwi) At the moment, I am working on a picture book for my granddaughter, with the Character of nursoda and Models of 1971s.
