Information updated 31st December 1998
I'm aged 30, from Luxembourg, a psychiatric nurse by training, but I have worked for the past 8 years for a humanitarian organisation called Medecins sans Frontieres (Docters without Borders) in various countries, mostly Africa. I am now back to Luxembourg and am working in a social security project.
I'm married with no children yet (but we are working on it...)
I got into Raytracing in early 97 when I was still in Burkina Faso. I wanted to do some graphics for a friend's homepage and d/l POV. I was hooked immediately. So far, I have entered 4 IRTC competitions in a row in 97, but havn't done anything beyond a draft image since. For every new topic, I come up with an idea which never gets finished. Oh well, maybe next month...
Programs:
POV 3.02 code - intermediate
Moray 3.0 - good enough
sPatch - still some work
Poser - intermediate
PSP 4 - basics
Rhino Beta - unfortunately not beta anymore
Strengths: Modelling, concepts.
Weakness: Lightning, textures to some extent, math.
Working On: My weaknesses and improving my strengths and the new functions in 3.1.
Objectives: Getting a complex organic shape modelled, like
a human or such.
...and to enter the competition
once again...
