That's me, always on the computer:-)BIOI think I was born as an artist. Since I could hold a pen in my hand, I always were drawing., painting; on Paper, on canvas. Later I studied fine art in Paris and became a free lance painter and designer.
In discovering computers, I also discovered all these marvellous 2D painting programs and became completely addicted to this kind of creation. I became then a designer for logos and graphics for web pages, working mostly with vector programs. My discover of 3D was a little later, when I found Vue dEsprit version 1 as a shareware in a Computer Magazine some years ago. I saw some amazing work created with it and since this moment Ive never stopped to love it.
My projects? I have so many projects in my head, my heart and my hands. Learning animation is the very next one. Thanks to Poser, Vue dEsprit and my brand new Carrara 1 I will have lots of happy artistic moments to live in the near future.

I wish I wasn't an American for the sole purpose of this image! :( I have NO IDEA what game this is! But I love this picture! It put a smile on my face - you really have "captured the moment"! What did you to for the ground texture? Do I see 2 or 3 terrains scaled down? Teach me this game!!

Thanks:-) About the game: The little red ball is called "cochonnet". It is mostly woodden. Each player has to throw their "boule de panque" in heavy alluminium material (children plays with heavy plastic bowls) the nearest possible to the cochonnet. There is always one who has a tape measure in his pocket to make sure who is the winner. To answer concerning the ground, it is made from 4 or 5 completely flattened digged terrains put together and mapped with different bitmaps.
gebe
I forgot to say: the trick in this game is to push away, with your own bowl, the others bowl what is sitting near the cochonnet:-), but bring your bowl to stop as close as possible there. Not easy.

Love the way you captured a moment in time that is right before the big reactions the players would be doing. Nice work. :)

This is adorable. Little old men need images, too. I have Enzio, and he's a very nice texture. You did a great job of making him look like many old men, instead of one....Excellent work here.
