Interview with Member of the Month - Kratzdistel
Tell us a little about yourself: who is kratzdistel?
Kratzdistel: I live in Germany and work in an engineering company for wind tunnels and fluid engineering. I'm not an engineer, but I really like everything with technic, software and IT (even studied IT for some semesters). One day I recognized a software named Bryce, I opened it, was very confused - and closed it. Think that's a common experience many people have with their first approach to 3D. ;)
Nevertheless, I was curious what I can create with DAZ Studio, Poser etc. After a while I wanted to create my own content, I modeled my first props in Hexagon and switched later to Blender. Since 2008 I'm using Blender now, I learned it with the help of books, DVDs, video tutorials, everything I could catch. Blender, Poser, DAZ Studio give me the possibility to be creative and to generate whatever comes in my mind - e.g. new furniture designs. I love "clean" modeling - and hope that this is reflected in my models.
how long have you been a renderosity member and what has the experience been like?
Kratzdistel: I'm a Renderosity member for more than 9 years now, first only as a shopper, later I tried to sell some of my props, but that's almost 7 years ago. Cause I do not have much spare time beside of family, job, a honorary office in a club, I cannot make props in a constant way so I decided to give away what I modeled as freebies from time to time. And I love that Renderosity offers an easy way to upload free stuff so that a great community can make a use of it.
Because my main software is Blender I open the Blender forum every time I'm at Renderosity, although I'm only a lurker. Unfortunately I'm not a very active gallery user but I know resp. follow some artists and I like all of their images
