Who is hmann? I am basically just a musician and music arranger that is also a 3d enthusiast. How long have you have you been rendering? Quite a number of years...at least seven or more...I started out when 3d studio max was on PC as 3d studio, then I bought Raydream studio...before Metacreations owned it, I took an interest in modeling especially, but I love rendering as well...anything in 3d really. What are you currently working on? Basically I want to get more into modeling, so I try to challenge myself, rather than do hair all the time I like to build worlds, clothes, I really want to build more fantasy and sci fi stuff that requires less constraints on the imagination. Currently I have a couple more hairs in the pipeline and I want to update my older products as well...plus more clothes packs and a complete update on the World Kit very soon! What software do you use and why? I use all version of Poser 4 to 6...I like Poser 6 for rendering...its lighting offers some new possibilities, I like Poser 4 for testing and setting up new models ...its less complex and faster. I use Amapi for modeling, but currently I am using Hexagon from Eovia as well..I am using that more and more...its such a great modeler...I really love it!! I also use an older version of Painter (6.1) and Uv ampper pro and ultimate unwrap 3d as well. Where do you find inspiration for your products? Thats a hard one really I like to look at comics occasionally, ancient historical stuff as well, real life situations...so many sources really...often when I make stuff tho...I just improvise. How has this online community (Renderosity) enhanced your work, relationships, and learning? I have met so many people in this community that do such great work that it cant help but inspire you...no man is an island and we receive and give according to our surroundings. Do you have any final words? First thanks you so much to all the people that have bought my products, many of you are great artists, and there are many great merchants as well. Thanks also to Clint, Debbie and all the rest of the crew...without your hard work non of this would be possible. Basically all I am is an enthusiast really, the only rule I have for myself... is dont take shortcuts, if its worth a little bit of extra effort to make a product or image even better, then I'll try my best to achieve that. Thanks again...best wishes to all. hmann
