3D and Carrara is my favourite way to create, I will use Photoshop and Illustrator but I am also a big supporter of freeware and open source software, often turning to the likes of Wings 3D, Inkscape or The Gimp.
Way back in ancient history I went to Art College and came out as a sculptor and a blacksmith. Essentially I just love to play with my creativity; I am a fine artist because I need to express myself in ways that words could not support.
I’ve travelled a lot, been homeless, lived on a Narrowboat and generally followed my nose through life.
These days I am more settled, I have a lovely wife, a mortgage and three kids aged 6 to 15. I work in IT as well as a lecturer teaching Photoshop at my local college in Bristol, UK. 3D and Carrara is my favourite way to create, I will use Photoshop and Illustrator but I am also a big supporter of freeware and open source software, often turning to the likes of Wings 3D, Inkscape or The Gimp.
My first point of call for modelling is Hexagon, I do use Carrara for modelling but I find Hexagons focus and extra tools invaluable. I sometimes use Bryce, Kerkythea and other 3D software but in my opinion you can’t beat Carrara for
its combination of ease and power – the shader room in particular, for me cannot be matched – I used Bryce as my main 3D app for years and never mastered the DTE (the Bryce equivalent of the Carrara Texture room).
