ANGELA TAYLOR

I am a 47 year old British woman who combines my lifelong love of horses with digital art. Since discovering Bryce 2 and Poser 3 way back in the late 90's I work mainly with Daz Studio, Poser, Carrara, Hexagon, Photoshop and Cinema 4d, but I also love web design (particularly working with Wordpress) and photography. Due to health problems I can no longer ride but along with my daughter and fiance we own several horses, two dogs, a pair of ferrets all of which help keep me going! I was born in the Chinese year of the horse (fire horse) and my western zodiac sign, Sagittarius is also part horse, maybe that explains a lot! I am an avid reader of sci fi and fantasy novels, Peter F. Hamilton, Greg Bear and George R. R. Martin being my current favourite authors. My secret guilty pleasure is re watching my Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Sarah Connor Chronicles back to back once every few months or so whilst working on my 3d and wordpress projects and studying for my science degree!

Distractions, distractions a new horse model and a new texture…..

Well today whilst waiting for a render to finish, I checked out Daz3d’s news letter and couldn’t resist when I saw that Predatron has a new LoRez Horse model out! I bought it straight away and really like it, it doesn’t have many morphs (as of yet *wink*) but is ideal for the job for …
