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.

RobinOberg
that large weapon looks interesting, would be cool to see that mounted :)
Eugenius
Great modeling! Can't wait to see the textures you'll be adding! That big weapon reminds me of a weapon on the game Marathon Rubicon: if it's anything like it, watch out people!!!
dandavis
Hey Moe, I always hear you talking about these collaborative efforts. Where can I see some of them. Are they posted here? These weapons are modeled very well!! Good Job.

Thanks, guys. Definitely not to terrorists, kylekwan... arms supplier only to virtual armies. I might post a spec sheet for each weapon one of these days. The large weapon was inspired by the one used by Vasquez in "Aliens", it gets some kind of an arm mounted to a harness to make it man portable. EvoX, you really think these would sell? We might get them into the MP after we're done playing with them for a while. "Expansion" teaser images are already out in Franky's gallery, dandavis. We're just setting up the history and background for the story's universe for now (while frantically building cities, vehicles, starships, sets, mechs, troops, droids, weapons and creatures). We don't want to fire it up till the necessary props are ready. :o) - Cheers! BTW - Did I mention that we are all peacemongers? (nothing like superior firepower to get that message across, lol!)

Amazing work!!

U gettin ready for war?
Rinus
Great job moebius, as always. I only have one 'comment'... it looks like the guns aren't from the same time... same difference as the old AK47 and the newest M16... if u get my drift. This offcorse is no problem if ur goning for that.... but if it would be a squad with different weapons (but the same army) it might give a weird idea to the absorbing viewer, lol... but again great modeling
Hellmark
ME WANT!!
StrmRyder
As stated in chat: HOLY FRAG! Have a weapon!!! Nicely done Moe! I'd be all about being in that room. grins Nice work on multiples in the shot so that different angles can be seen all at once. Kudos!

oooo gimmie!
Moebius87
Fair call, Rinus, thanks! The weapons above are to be distributed to several warring corporate factions (in our story), with different technological approaches to weaponry. So far, these are all designed with the human form in mind. I'm trying to get weapon variants going for each "style", but still have a long way to go. :o) Thanks, everyone!!!

It is amazing what sheer volume can do to achieve a level of believability, considering that you have not really started on the texturing yet. Just kidding (sort of), the modeling is awe inspiring.

wow. that's some serious hardware. the details really make them seem as though they could be actual weapons. you have quite a skill for making futuristic objects/crafts seem believable. great work. this picture is great too, with all of them piled together. oh, and looks about my monitor res too, i'm going to wallpaper it. still the lightwave messiah hmm? ;)
