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.

Thanks for filling us in (so to speak)! Of course, NOT seeing any anime stuff appearing (LOL). BTW, Moe, one never knows where one's meshes end up at and in what kind of image. Just a quick note to let you know your Cyberchair is the "centerpiece" in training poster (22 x 28) I did. Training poster, you say? LOL! And I might add that Stonemason's excellent detailed texturing job was wonderful at that resolution.

Wheres the "Aliens Colonial Marines Technical Manual"??!!?? After all the fun you had trying to get that one, I would've thought it'd have pride of place.

Lol .. Animators survival kit. What a title. One should actually produce one and sell it here, like a first aid kit, containing a Handheld Computer with C4D light on it or something. I guess i own myself about 500 Sci-Fi Novels and comics lol no wonder i live so far from reality ;))

looks like my little library.. And I thought I had a few books, I think, I spend more time in the Book Store [Barnes&Noble] Than I should, they just have yo many books, I hate that, its hard to chose which book, so I usually get three or four books at a time..And I need to build more shelfs to. You just can't have enough reference guides, I see I have about every lightwave book you have also, I think it is a must have..Michael
