3DM3 introduce to you interview with Jacobo Rojo - "Making of Audi R8 in Desert" author and Arte-3D Modelling Studio founder and owner.
Hi Jacobo, talk first a little bit about yourself and how you got started in 3D? I’m 37 years old and I live in Mexico city. Well my profession is Graphic Design, from the very beginning of my studies I begin learning 3d Studio version 2 in MS-DOS from my own because 3D has always interested me a lot and I used it very often in my work, I worked 9 years as a Graphic Designer and a couple of years ago I decided to start my own business Arte-3D Modeling Studio. Why you select cars as the main subject of your creativity? I got inspired after watching all the 3D cars from other authors and because they where a real challenge to me at that time. What applications do you use? At the very beginning I started using Rhino but I ended up with 3ds Max because the meshes were much lighter and easy to render than converted models from a nurbs software. Your cars look very realistic! What of render you used to reach similar realism? I use Mental Ray and Vray, both engines are very powerful. Lately I’m working more with Vray, I find it a little faster and lighting results are beautiful.
You have your own “Arte-3D Modeling studio”. Tell us about its history and what the current main work and tasks of your studio? I started with it a couple of years ago and it’s been a good time and fun running my own business. How many people’s except you works on “Arte-3D Modeling Studio” ? It’s just me and when it’s required I hire extra freelance 3d modelers.
