Who is Mec4D?
My name is Catharina Harders, I am a graduate of Visual Arts and a
recording artist.
I have been involved with the Poser Community for the past 11
years.
Mec4D is a graphic design & digital recording label located in
the Netherlands and US founded and owned by me for the last 10
years.
How long have you have you been involved in digital
art?
I have been creating digital art for almost 11 years, this is my
first passion
What are you currently working on?
I am currently working on 2 new characters for M4 "Buddy
"and V4 ""Sylvana"
What software do you use and why?
My first software is Deep Paint 3D that I have used for almost 10
years it allows me to create my textures in a very quick way
especially for difficult UV mapping that the models have today.
Second is Poser Pro, but also Photoshop and Painter 11 is all I
need for my texture creation.
Where do you find inspiration for your
products?
I find my inspiration everyday around me but also by other
Renderosity artists and the fans of my work. They always keep me
going; give me unique power, positive energy, supporting me on all
my projects
I am very thankful for that.
Do you have any advice for aspiring Digital Content
Developers?
I think everyone around can create beautiful and unique art, we
grow with our work every day making it better and better, I have
advice for the young texture artist, I see sometimes wonderful
products with a lot of wonderful stuff inside, but without the
"'soul" I call this the digital finger print. The main
things that bother me a little bit are the wrong scale of the skin
texture, the reason they look like that is that they were created
only in Photoshop and that, today, Â is not enough. The main
figures as V4 and M4 have very difficult UV mapping that is out of
scale, Photoshop never can fix it no matter how detailed the
textures are, you should go out and try to use the programs that
was created for it (DP3D or Body painter etc.}This would make your
work much more realistic and quicker.
How has this online Community (Renderosity) enhanced
your work, relationships, and learning?
Renderosity I can call my home, I am member of almost all Poser
Online communities but I feel mostly wonderful here with all my old
friends around that give me inspirations everyday and also the new
young artist that come with new ideas and visions. I learned a lot
of stuff from others in the past 10 years here at Renderosity,
everyone has always been helpful and nice.
Do you have any final words?
First of all I want to thank you so much for your support, to all
my friends and fans of my work at Renderosity. Without you it would
never happen, I was surprised this morning with this news, this
give me even more inspirations and positive energy. Thank you again
to everyone and I would like to make a list with the names but it
would take forever so thank you again, you guys are the best!!!
Always at your service ! Cath
