Just another struggling artist with a passion for 3D computer graphics. I was first inspired by the works of Jean Giraud (a.k.a. Moebius) of "Heavy Metal" fame, hence the tribute in my online moniker. My 3D CGI tool of choice is LightWave, but I have recently started mucking about with digital photography. Other tools include Vue Infinite and DAZ|Studio. I also work in Photoshop and CorelDraw to cover the 2D graphics stuff.
I don't have too much patience for setting up final renders, because my interests lie in modeling. "Non-organic" modeling, or "hard surface" modeling, in the sci-fi genre to be specific. So the bulk of the images in my gallery are modeling WIP's and design studies, the rest are photos and a few quick sketches. I consider myself a hobbyist, because I am still at a level where my skills definitely need a lot more improvement.
I'm an architect by training, and work as Studio Manager for an architectural/interiors design office. I was born, raised and educated in the Philippines, but am currently based in Bangkok, Thailand where I live my wife, "Kanittha", our son "Nio" and our cat "Samuel".
Thank you very much for looking up my page.

oo - very elegant vases!
chemicalbrother
very cool... it has a nice soft focus look to it

Well that's really brave of you to go Caustic's as well...how much time do you say you have for a render? I think you might need something in the background to show the transparency FX, just a suggestion, as this is a WIP. Very kool work looking forward to more!!!Cheer's

Excuse me for thinking that they would be excellent shape for a bullet - or artilery round.

Jifs got a point moe. With no real BG to reflect/refract, its gonna make setting up your transparency hard. May I recommend you experiment with using a chequered floor to get your settings right first before doing you fianl render against plain. Pah... this is moe, why am I giving him tips??? Like he needs them.

looks good so far buddy. don't forget to post a "how to" in th eforum after you figure it all out so you can save us all some time;-)

Transparency and refraction dont work the best unless you include an air layer in the glass. Lightwave will not refract light correctly just by applying glass settings to a surface.An air layer is necessary to bend the light coming in as well as out. There are plugins that will give good results. Caustics will also rely on this.

Thanks for the tip, odeone... I do have a "glass-ext" layer and a "glass-int" layer with varying index of refraction settings and different values for reflection and transparency. Ext=1.00 Int=1.335. :o)

I believe this is the simplest model i've ever seen you work with moe, what you up to? you gonna make sky scrapers with reflective glass windows?? there's gotta be something else behind this I just know it! Good render though, very cool, I stared at it for awhile because it almost looks like a photo with soft focus, the coloring is cool too, reminds me of something out of the late 70's :).

Looks good , i would have chosen a less soft look tho, glass is cold by nature..on the other hand.. i see the warm glow in the eyes of some girls looking at "glass containments". Well maybe the wrong subject for me...there are to sorts of glasses in my life..the ones filled with beer and the useless empty ones..lol Fine work

oooh makes me think of brushed metal neet

Hey Moe...pretty Cool!!

Looks like 3 gorgeous vases painted in water colors IMHO. Very lovely colors, shadowing 'n' reflections. V (:
djgoldfinger
