Name: Laurent

I am a great fan of comics, mangas, drawing in general and 3D movies. I did my first comic strip when I was a young boy, I am still drawing and painting watercolors. I am IT manager, so when I got my first computer I wanted to animate my drawings and do small games. Doing graphics with Paint Shop Pro. I did a couple of them, and the next step was doing 3D games with 3D characters. This is where I got hooked with 3D starting with Poser 3 which I liked a lot. I needed a tool to organize the vast amount of 3D models, textures and Poses. So in 2000 I began to work on a file manager – code name P3dO – which was initially only intended as a helper for my 3D projects. But I got trapped and this secondary project became the main one. Over the years it has grown into a huge software with 3D viewing, 3D animation, support for numerous 3D formats, the main ones being Poser, Daz Studio and Carrara. Still with the same pleasure, I love doing this, I love 3D.

Antara Carrara Artist

I was very happy to find Carrara so easy to work with and so capable of producing the images I imagine. I’ve been using Carrara for about 2 and a half years, and I keep discovering useful shortcuts for everything I do, even among the older features.

I am mostly interested in telling visual stories. In that respect most of my images are illustrations. I was very happy to find Carrara so easy to work with and so capable of producing the images I imagine. My exposure to Carrara actually made me want to switch careers to something artistic, so that’s my main focus at present.
