Thomas Morley - Legacy of Technology & Creativity

ABOUT ME

My Story

I'm Thomas Morley, a lifelong technology enthusiast who has witnessed and participated in the evolution of computing from its early days. My journey began in the 1980s with the Commodore 64, and I've been passionate about technological innovation ever since.

From the early days of Commodore 64 through my work with the powerful Amiga 500 and even the Amiga 1000 with Video Toaster, I've experienced first-hand the transformation of home computing and digital creativity.

My passion for 3D creation led me to explore the world of Lightwave 3D, where I began crafting animations and models that captured the imagination of those who saw them. I've continued to evolve as technology has evolved, transitioning to PC platforms while maintaining my dedication to creating meaningful digital experiences.

The journey through technology is more than just adopting new tools—it's about preserving the creative spirit that emerges from innovation.
