1st Place on CGHUB mudbox challenge!!!

I can't believe that I finally got a big place on CGHUB challenge.
http://cghub.com/blog/view/warriors-challenge-roundup/

This challenge was pretty tough for me because first, I had to make a couple of detailed assets, such as warrior, crab, shells and so on. Unfortunately my pc can't have a lot of memory so needed to use some bumpmap, normalmap instead of displacement maps and those maps are hard to make exact details on surface. Actually wanted to use more hi-performance pc and make more detailed surface.
Anyway! I'd like to say "Thank you" for all Judges. They are legendry people for us, so really pleased that I got feedback from them.
Of course other entries are really awesome, especially congrats Jesse and Brett!!
And... to cghub staffs, much appreciated for this result. I'll entry again if we have another challenge sometime.




Thank you,

Hello again,
Finally my latest interview was published on 3D Again. This time, you can see the article in English and Italian too. Probably some parts/answers are almost same with previous interview on 3dm3. I hope you can get some hint for your 3D work or 3D life :)


Thanks,

Interview on 3DM3

Hello all,
I did an interview on 3dm3. I answered ten questions on there in English. Some parts are probably helpful for your 3D work, so if possible, please check it out during your free time.

As another interview, I already wrote up the other day. Maybe you can see it in a few weeks.
When the next interview will be published, I'll blog it on here.
