Bio: I began working in 3D with Ray Dream Studio 4 (yeah, quite a while ago). My modest endeavor, Roosl's Graphic Design (http://Roosl.com) has evolved, and the gallery now contains many works done with Carrara, with full descriptions and background info. Visit and explore! I hope you enjoy this sampling of my gallery here.

For this distant other world scene, I created a simple geodesic dome. In this scale, the dome is large and houses a city, suggesting that the planet's atmosphere is not safe for the inhabitants. Here's one for God. No man made symbols, no silly bearded anglo-saxon face. Light. Life Force. Matter and mysteries we cannot comprehend. The relative insignificance of our Earth, home to our bodies and other created, evolved life we can only partially understand. See how it is? From 2D to 3D, you imagine 'em, give 'em a little CPU, show 'em where the tools are, and they start messing around and screwing up your stuff. I caught these mischief makers in my office, leaving their ooze all over my monitor and stuff. I'm telling you, you just can't walk away and leave the power saver inactive. In this variation on another of M.C. Escher's works, I substituted his reptiles with my wooden mannequins. There are 12 intersecting planes, each a 5 pointed star, and the mannequins are imprisoned in each. You need to appreciate geometry, and the precision with which the stars must be assembled, then the placement of each mannequin. In another based on Escher, here we have 3 views of the same setting at one time. I extended the scene and added a little more reason to wonder about it. Note the picture on the wall, where a later work is set within this same space (details, details, such as the cigarette and smoke). You just want to come to this place and think. It's a peaceful place, and the air now is sweet after a fresh rain. Here is where you tend to the plants, the quiet, breath God's everything, and tend to yourself. Between new ideas, I thought I'd give this subject another shot, and I'm happy that I did. Wanting to produce a decent waterfall for some time, I've discarded some miserable failures. Finally, I achieved this scene. Another serious exercise in photo-realism, this is a painstakingly detailed reproduction of my office, where I do all this stuff. I modeled each piece of furniture, the Beast (workstation), monitor, scanner, printer, keyboard (down to the characters on each key) and everything else to scale. Details such as the books and post-it notes on the shelf are exactly as at the time I originally developed this project. Some of my clutter was omitted, but the stuff that doesn't change much is all here, including my ever-present Coke. One of 4. Out of this (3 week plus) project, some art within art (if I may). One of seven images illustrating different views of another architectural design. I also wanted to play in the water some more after the waterfall (below), hence the water garden and fountain design, in views of the Another large detailed architecture project (also see Another large detailed architecture project (also see Another large detailed architecture project (also see Depiction of a nebula, and a dying star. The gate between worlds was busy this day.
