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.

Moe, I can't believe how great your attention to detail is! The drink dipensers look excellent!

Looking good moe, and that close up of the glasses, you could be forgiven for thinking it a photo.

reminds me of the cafe in screamers :) very good moe :)

That is so cool. The surfacing is a bit hard to comment on at that size though Moe. It looks pretty good but would have to see a larger clearer pick to add anything. The only point i can see is that the spec/diffuse seems pretty flat across the surfaces....but what do I know? :)Roux

This bar is getting more and more interesting by the update. Though... I wonder: if the handles below the machins are those you push with the glass to get the liquid inside, don't you think they are too long back. if you put the glass against it and pushed it even more back, I think the liquid will miss the glass... If they are what i think they are that is. Anyway, GREAT work!

This is turning into a great model. Glad to see you are seeking some compensation for your wonderful work. Reminds me of a bar I used to frequent that had an upper and lower room. Played a lot of NTN trivia there (you might not know what that is, but I suspect a lot of others do). Great imagination!
sabaman
great modeling as allways, nice renders,...
ShadowWind
I love the modeling and design that goes into these. Thanks for sharing the progress with us...

This is a cool looking bar. Keep up the good work, Moe!

In you style-handling there isnt much anyone could say, because you own it, sure as that. U allways have, you just got more mature in your work, very nice, and as always im waiting for how you arrange those pixels on my screen here, and amaze me again with your DAMN tasty style. Really, when are you going Pro? Cos we mean it when we all say it.

Very impressive details, its really inspiring to see such original ideas and talent. I really need to do more sci-fi art myself, not that I'll ever manage to learn modeling. Definitely looking forward to seeing more. :)

Excellent! MOe, where wre you two years ago when we were trying to do a Rhino forum scene!? We picked the theme of an intergalatic nightclub but we never got it off the ground :( Excellent work and thanks for showing how it should've been done!
lahavana
Well, good luck building your club! It looks awesome already! :)

Thy genius sings in a way not reticent but evocative of a design emeshed with a bilateral hyper-sensitivity. May the cloud of intransience never descend upon the hierarchical.

Great !!!
