Well, what to say; I have been involved in the 3D community for over 15 years now. I came in to it by needing a model. I Googled "Free Model" and up came DAZ3D.com and that started it all. Needless to say the vector project that I was working on, "Universal Being", never got finished!! And then about a year later I had a hard drive crash that took my beloved vector and Photoshop files with it. I think I cried for weeks over that! I was crushed but life goes on. I find 3D to be a very fascinating and creative way to make art. I have since involved myself in beta testing and have done numerous freebie packs, and have dabbled in the "published artist" side of things doing stuff for Hivewire 3D and a couple of things for the Genesis 8 Male currently off market. I'm currently developing a Gino for L'Homme using the brilliant 3Dream's merchant resource pack as a base, because I'm too lazy to map out my own seamless skin, which funnily I have a TON of packs I bought from 3d.sk but never have used them fully, just things like eyes, navels, nipples, hand and feet, knee and elbow elements to make the MR more my own!! Currently working with Dusk 1 and the upcoming Dusk 2 and L'Homme. I like to support the underdog and the male figures fall prominently in that category sadly!
My favorite meshes are:
L'Homme
La'Femme
Dusk SE
Dawn SE
Dusk and Dawn 2.0 are on the horizon as well! YAY
I am an avid user of Poser and while I still like the idea of using DAZ Studio it's but a tool for this and that these days; Plus I'm 60 years old and my mind just can't absorb and hold onto info at the breakneck speed this industry is moving so I limit what I use to Poser, ZBrush and Photoshop as well as Photoshop to develop content in. I am using ZBrush to realize my digital 3D dreams and a fav unwrap package called Ultimate Unwrap3D!
If you wish to visit my personal website home page then feel free to read All About Me and my Spirituality journeys through life. It's been quite a ride I think there's a bit more to go!!
Side note on the website: It's been FINALLY updated and went live today (November 2021). I'm very happy with all the work I did on it. Added in a Poser and ZBrush page and updated my galleries too! If your looking for a good web building / hosting site, I can recommend NameCheap as well as WYSIWYG Web Builder software (very similar to WebPlus by Serif) which made this update so much easier and elegant!!
All the best and don't forget to smile and don't sweat the small stuff!
