3D art
I discovered the wonders of computer art very very recently. I found out that Google have released a 3D modeling
program called Google SketchUp, including a free version, and decided to
give it a try. I was instantly hooked. Since early age, I used to draw, mainly with pencil and crayons but later
neglected my fairly developed talent for other hobbies. Later on, I used to paint a lot with water colors, making
some fairly nice paintings. And now, in my third incarnation as an artist, I'm using computer software to turn
images in my head into reality.
I will present each of my works in an individual gallery, and probably with quite a period between them, since
making these 3D images takes TIME. Even relatively simple designs sweep you away, easily turning from a 5-minute
escapade into a 30-40-hour project.
Most of the projects will have a rather distinctive military character, so they might not appeal to anyone. For
some reason, I found out that I mostly like to draw people with pencil, landscape with watercolors, and precise,
technical objects with computer software. I don't know why; maybe because computers allow for a certain sterile
precision that you cannot have using your own hands.
A word of caution for 56K dial-up users: For enhanced experience, I thought it would be best if I did not use
small-size thumbnails to link to enlarged images, but rather to display them in their full glory within the gallery
pages. This might cause a bit of a delay in the loading.
Galleries are sorted chronologically, with the newest on the top. Or you can click these fine little previews to
