From your personal life, who opened the doors to the world of design and what were your key inspirations to enter the field?<\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

I am very fortunate since my parents gave me a good education and the necessary gear to study computer graphics. My interest in this field started when I watched Toy Story and Jurassic Park. At the time, I was training in karate, and my teacher worked with animation. He gave me directions as to which college I should apply to. After that, I met good people that helped me with my first job interview and hired me to begin my career as a 3d artist. I can’t say I have a key inspiration because it comes from many different sources, like movies, animations, video games, illustrations, etc.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Did you have a formal education as a designer or 3d artist, and how necessary is it in today’s industry?<\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

I graduated as a designer and took a few CGI courses, and it was beneficial to learn the process and techniques. Still, I have yet to see a case where having a formal education is mandatory to enter the industry. From my experience, what truly matters is the artist’s experience, expertise, and portfolio.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

What is your personal approach toward 3d modeling and specifically character design?<\/h4>
\u00a0<\/div>

Aside from all technical aspects regarding 3d modeling, it is mainly about observation. Translating or reinterpreting details to a 3d mesh requires a lot of practice, patience, and organization. Gathering references about the subject you want to create is essential. Starting with simple shapes to block out your model is always an excellent way to begin. I use this approach either for characters, assets, or environments. With my entry for Endless Engines, I tried a slightly different approach. I limited the number of references, and I remembered some from previous projects and kept them just in my memory. I didn’t look at it. Otherwise, I would automatically try to copy it. So combining the references I gathered with the others in my memory, I created the characters and environment lighting for this animation. It was a fun exercise.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
