Set designer in film industry. It became part of my workflow 4 years ago just before the release of v5 and allowed me to switch from AutoCad. As a 3d modeler I use it in conjunction with my other 2 main packages, Cinema 4D and Zbrush.
Very excited for a lot of new things coming in V6.
Iām often asked what I do for a living and I respond with ā3D Designerā which invariably leads to a conversation about āwhat do I designā. Itās tricky to answer⦠What do you need?
My background is scenic sculpture and prop making/pattern and mould making for the entertainment industry but I had a sojourn within the retail industry as a project manger for interiors and furniture for a few years. Iāve been using CAD software from the early 1990ās with old school AutoCAD before WYSIWYG through so many different pieces of software but I didnāt discover Rhino until [2006] so Iāve only been using it from version 4.
Silly as it seems Iāve never completed any training or classes, itās all been self taught. If I wasnāt using this kind of software for a job Iād be doing it in my spare time due to self interest and personal projects etc. Itās like a pen and paper⦠If I could also make my breakfast with it I probably would.
Iāve been self employed since Feb 2014 mainly working for sculptors and designers/developers and entrepreneurs helping them realise their ideas. Iām a problem solver and ideation is my passion so I get my kicks from the process and the journey rather than the finished item.
Most of my old work is listed here but I donāt really bother with portfolios and updates nowadays: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/2dcube
