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.

I love these buildings, they're great. I plan to download all 200. I love the new ones that came out too, with the water and such. This picture is awsome, now I have a refrence on how I can put them together a little better, heheh

Yup you know how I feel about this project. I dl'ed them already and await my copy of LW7 so I can use them.

I only figured out how to get a gallery going a couple of hours ago (thanks to qwertykd). Glad you guys like this stuff. Can't wait to see what you will all do with it.
Tom Berna
Awesome. How many hours per block did you spend?
Moebius87
Hi Tom - first four blocks each took from six to eight hours to model, the rest less than four. Once I had built up a collection of nondescript buildings that could be scaled, stretched and modified, the work flow got easier. The difficult bit is coming up with unique buildings or elements for each block (and as we all know, that entails a couple of hours staring into space with glassy eyes). Surfacing just got revised (LWO's forwarded to loganarts), thanks to some tips from pnevai. pnevai's also suggested that I throw in some trees and veggies. Maybe the next set of four blocks will feature parks and elevated gardens. Am open to requests and suggestions, and if you feel like modeling your own blocks to help the city expand, please be my guest. ;)

Amazing work! cant wait to download. Great texturing. How much polys?
Moebius87
Polygon counts... the sizes vary from 6,855 polys - 278 kb (Block 004) to only 2,430 polys - 95 kb(Block 010). I try to keep them as low as possible because these are intended as props for more important objects in a scene, (your objects). :)

hi-end work "very cool"
pmoores
Very Detailed work. Thanks for the idea too! Trying to make alien cities myself and bog down in idividual buildings,never thought to make up city blocks 1 at a time. Amazing looking city, so much detail.
Moebius87
Thanks, Pmoores. They're already available in the freestuff section if you want to have a go at them. :) nice thing about a block is you just have to rotate and voila, no one will know the difference.

your spacehip interior design is fantastic. but for the way you presenting this blocks you have built this one is my fave. the other image of dystopia is great too, but this one have a stronger composition. fine.
Kiernnan
This is unbelievable, incredible!!! Such detail. I wish I had Lightwave. Great job!!
EvolutionXtinct
Moebius again dude I gotta say, you are one of the coolest TALENTED (WIsh i could think of a stronger word) person i've met on Renderosity. I only hope you get paid and do this as a living because wow your amazing! Evo

Very nice work man ..Real talent ..me,I just looked at LW for some seconds before I reconsidered my comments on "easy-to-use"! I have some "requests" though, I would like some "slum" blocks, "ready-to-fall"-Buildings u know! And it would be nice with some sort of a transit system, like a sky-track or such ... Very nice work ...
specs2

nasentierchen

These blocks are awesome, but I can't find the one in the freestuff section. :( Any chance it's available somewhere else?
