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.

What a creative work, and the texture is just excellent. Great colors, and the industrial-looking top really is a nice touch!

You better copyright them before someone steels the idea LoL (sorry for the pun) your Dystopia is a great series, and this is a wonderful render.

Hehehe. Now if only I could get real ones. I always wanted square cans. Perfect! :D
onimusha
Wow this is awesome... I love the weathered look around the tops of the cans which looks just like pressed aluminum...

Point me at any of the geeks that dis the dystopia can and I'll tell 'em what's what for you! Great prop with extraordinary detail :-) I can guarantee it would be my favorite drink of the future :-)

Fantastic texture WIP Moe, I much prefer a square can, you get more than 375ml, fit more in the fridge ! kool stuff Cheers
Fredy
Fantastic! I like this squared cans approach! :) Looks like it could come true! Bravo!
CarolSassy
Can't wait to try it out! Love the square cans and the name. You'd sell a mint of them just from the shape alone! Fantastic work! (:
ComplxMind
Love it. Of course, I would have expected a little improvement over the tab openings by now. haha. I absolutely love the "MOE" as part of the texture. Very creative and subtle.
RodsArt
Your design of both the construction of the can and the labeling is fantastic. Nice work!
beyondMyth
that is a great concept, futuristic design and solid modeling skills - a piece of quality art as always! :-)

A refreshing idea! More practical for manufacturing and shipping. Great job there dude! :B eaver !

The fictional sodas usually taste better and dont leave that nasty aftertaste. Impressed as always Moe. Btw, does it come in diet?
DeathWalker
Hmmm. . . square cans? Damn you could be on to something! I'll take 5,000 units! As always, great work Moe!
Modulok
Square is good. -Modulok-
petes
looks great Moe! maybe addd a bit more to the spec? Also, teh pitted metal gives the feeling of thickness. Soda cans are pretty smooth and thin. Just my 2 Love teh render, especially the water!
cshark
Good concept, better render!
cshark
Good concept, better render!
Ajax
LOL. Those are great, Franco!

Very cool looking with great textures. I can see from the back of the can that even then the sci-fi world we're still trying to recycle. What are your future plans for this project? In my opinion I think I would look cool if we could see some sweat dripping down the side of the can. I would just like to sit by and watch you model different things in Lightwave sometimes, because I'm totally lost on the modeling process. I bought the book Inside LightWave 8 by Dan Ablan, but I don't think there's anything better than watching a pro at work! -James
