I

so I got a job at a studio that made music videos. Ta da!

Give me a quote about why 3d appeals to you as an art.
The tools an artist uses don’t matter if, in the
end, he/she expresses an idea or an emotion in a way that makes you forget
about how a
particlular piece was made. 3d is just a tool. It's
definitely one of the most flexible mediums we have to work with at the moment,
but in the
end, it’s still more about who’s got two
thumbs and the skills to pay the bills than anything else.

4. How did you go about getting into your current biz?
It
was back in 1996-97 when I was in my fourth year of architecture school.
This was a couple years before computers started to replace drafting
tables. The technology was starting to become more accessible and we had
access to some professional 3d software in our computer labs. I was
always a bit ahead of the curve when it came to computers and technology
because I didn't have the irrational fear of "breaking" a
computer. I saw a new tool and thought to myself "that looks fun, I
think I'll see what I can do with it." It helped me push the
boundaries of my design, as I was able to experiment with forms that would have
been impossible for me to visualize on paper.
5. Give me a quote about why 3d appeals to you as an art.
3d
lets you experiment and explain those experiments to others. So, until
humankind invents a fully immersive and interactive real-time computer
generated holographic environment maker, 3d will be my tool.
