The nickname "Innovari" (meaning innovation or renewal in Latin) has been with me since I came across Syd Mead's prototype car design of the same name in his wonderful book "Sentinel." This work, with its air of "a new era of design"—along with the works of many SF and fantasy illustrators (such as Chris Foss, Peter Elson, Angus McKie, Chris Moore, Jim Burns, and Fred Gambino)—drove me over the years to do my own artwork.
"Fantastic fiction" always had a remarkable weight in my whole personal and professional life. I have been a professional SF author, I edited a fantasy and horror movie magazine, and for ten years have been chief modelmaker in my own special effects company.
In the last decade my creativity has leaned towards computer graphics and 3D illustrations in particular—with which I wanted to create professional artworks for books and magazines. I'm happy to say that in recent years this objective has been fulfilled, with many works sold worldwide to private and corporate clients.
Currently I'm building my worlds in Bologna, Italy, where I share a home with my wife Raffaella and our cats Leeloo and Merlin.

I share your enthusiasm for the show. The costumes were a bit off, but we didn't notice that, it was all in the story and scenes. Great tribute.

Loved the show. It is available on DVD/video but you have to look for it. Great image!

Way to go !! It capture my imagonation when I was young too... and even now UFO has some kind of wonderful appeal, even when you see those horrible pre-PC computers with magnetic tapes that whirl ... Have done a mesh of the SHADO moonbase myself... I remember the soccer domes being the hardest part to model !!!!

UFO was one of teh few bright spots of 70's sci fi. Cool I used to have a toy of the interceptor.

Love the series and had a serious crush on one of the moonbase ladies! Nice render and moonbase....

Beautiful recreation! I especially liked your remembering to add the Interceptors and that strangely-designed shuttle they used. I was surprised to find several UFO/Space1999 enthusiasts with websites filled with CGI artwork and Italian text!

I've never seen the show (did it air in the States?), but I really like the moonbase design alot.

Man that brings back memories. No other sci-fi fighter ever beat the Interceptors design, it really rocked. Fantastic image.

I had a chance to watch the entire dvd collection of UFO last year and it was so worth it. Your moonbase looks better than it did on the show. Any thoughts on doing the sub?
dcmstarships

Hey, great work! I was a big fan of UFO too! I got one of the alien ships, but the intercepter I downloaded is a mess since I'm using 3-D max instead of Lightwave. Let me know if you can find some of the modles in .3ds format?
theseus88bc
wonderful... better than mine, and I think we used the same model!
