Tools of the Trade: Pro/ENGINEER, Lightwave 3D, Keyshot# About me
I've always been an art and computer graphics enthusiast, developed good drawing skills and pioneered 3d CGI at the times of Amiga (Imagine, Lightwave 3D).After graduating in electronics engineering I've specialized in optical and mechanical design, developing high proficiency in Pro|ENGINEER, a tool I still use for my side projects.

Hello, I referenced a couple of your models in a journal.
25 Years of Lego M:TRON
Please let me know if you would prefer to have me remove the references. Thank you!

I'm glad you liked my works and no problem for using it, I enjoyed reading your journal, I think exactly the same of M-Tron, although I was already too old to play with LEGO when it came out

Great 3D LEGO work - I particularly like the classic Space scenes, they really take me back to when I got my first sets all those years ago!
I've been meaning to do some classic renders myself (the Robin Hood hideout sets from the late 80's strike a chord) but I can't decide!
Keep up the great work

Ever try making 3d models with chrome parts? xD

I actually made a rendering of the Blackstar on mars scene in full gold... maybe I still have it somewhere

I would DEFINITELY love to see that!

i would really like to see a lego space rendering of the sets from the early 90's, like the exploriens sets, or the UFO sets. it would be awesome!

I think I'll have to make Exploriens someday, I like that serie, although there are not so many sets in the franchise. UFO is another story, I admit it's fun and quite inventive, but the use of "super-pieces" to obtain easily some shapes annoys me...
BTW I don't have much spare time right now, I still have a couple of rendering to complete, but my PC crashed badly (cooked hard drive, a nightmare), therefore all my LEGO projects are postponed :/

oh, that stinks. well, hope you can get things worked out.

Really miss your Lego space renders! You ever plan of doing more?

I'm in the process of switching job so my spare time is veeeery low, I hope I'll have more time in the future for LEGO rendering... I'm not going to abandon it for sure, it's too fun

Si tratta di un grande lavoro, complimenti! Sto cercando di fare del mio Ibanez 3D, vorrei richiamare il loro lavoro!
ps.: Traduzione da Google, mi spiace = /

Thank you for the comment, you look like an Ibanez fan too
If you can write in english, I think it will be better than translating to italian using google

Ehe, Internet is a small place after all
You have some excellent works in your gallery, really nice models! I'm getting back to fun CGI after a lot of time, I say "fun" because from two years ago I work as a CAD designer/optical engineer, so I never stopped doing CGI after all...
Anyway my sites now are:

good to hears from you .. and i love your valkyrie power site .. do you use Lightwave as well ? I need to learn a lot from you .. especially for the texture material .. i really love it ..
π: 0 β©: 1
I used Lightwave for all the Macross and Gundam rendering, but as far as modeling is concerned I sued a mix of Lightwave and solidThinking (excellent NURBS based modeler).
Now I'm re-planning my ZPlus model and I'm not sure if I'll go to full Lightwave or Pro/Engineer.
As far as materials are concerned I mainly used occlusion plugins like "Grit" to enhance the look of the model, but I must say that, having recently tested Lightwave 9.2, the new nodes material is way ahead of the standard one and really interesting

wew .. im waiting for your Zplus now .. ^_^
yes, it is .. Lightwave 9.2 is a long leap from Lightwave 9 ..The node is outstanding .. but still .. I don't understand too much yet ..
