How long have you been rendering?

It is two years for the first time about the first 3D graphic software "Shade."

It the data base software in 3D graphics and I consider "Poser" to be became the more convenient thing by sale of "PoserProPack."
The test about the interchangeability to "the 3D studio MAX" is performed from "Poser", and it is under research about the new possibility of "Poser."

What software do you use and why?

It is main in modeling and "Shade" of expressiontools is using it for it. Unlike other 3D programs which edit a polygon, this software edits Splien altogether and performs modeling. Although only the Japanese version existed before, sale of the English version is also carried out now.

Although plug-in which supports OBJ is required in order to take "Poser" and compatibility, the correspondence to the English version is undecided. Polygon edit and 3D animation are working in "3 D studio MAX."

Why do you like 3D art?

I was wavering in the expression method long time, although it was interested in works of art, such as pictures and a photograph.

The capacity of a photograph is helpful in my 3D graphics.

What inspires you?

Although influenced from TV, the movie, etc., in order to consider the work method etc., it is not good that it became impossible to enjoy oneself in a pure feeling. And the influence which Mr. Coil of a good partner and a rival has on me is large. It is insufficient however there may be time when it debates about him and graphics.
