Q.I would like to be a modeler. What education should I get, Could you recommend a good academy?

A: When we first started 3D,there were no proper academy.We are sorry that we do not know any good academy that we could recommended to beginners. Also,we cannot decide for you whether to study at an academy or work on your own.We believe that most efficient way to learn it would differ depending on the person learnig.

 

Nowadays it became easier to find 3D study material because there are many useful books and wedsites.I think that it would help a lot if you listen to thoughts and experiences of people who is "journeying through similar path" at 3D group in portal sites or CG sites such as 3dtotal.com, highend3d.com, cgtalk.com and so on.

 

It is very difficult to master 3D in a short period of time.It is very important to work continuously and diligently.Do not give up just because things does not work out at first.Even if it seems like a difficult road,many people have already traveled through that pass before.

I'm K.jun(Hyung Jun Kim).I started CG in 1997, so it has almost been 10 years.

I majored painting in college and one day I was not satisfied in just drawing with brush and pencil, then I came across to hear that it is possible to make animation on my own. That is when I got mesmerized by the charms of 3D.

One year after starting 3D, my first trailer “Mirror” won the gold prize at the first Korea computer art association. Since then I had the opportunity to participate in various productions of trailers. I became interested in game genre and since 2003 I have been working in a game company call NCSOFT.

I had been the manager of visual production team and worked on many promotional posters and game trailers. At the moment, I am the art director of an online game call Aion. To create a new world as a god does in the game is very interesting.

I grew up in a small village in the mountains where we had street festivals in April. All I could see around me was high mountains and big rivers, but the beautiful memory from my childhood helps me a lot when I work on my pieces.

I like to go driving with my wife and go out to take photographs in my leisure time. I also enjoy movies and gaming. It bothers me most when I only have little time left in my WOW account.

 

Favorite movies: Contact, gladiator, the LOTR series, Star Wars, the memory of muder

 

Favorite music: New age, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Load of the dance

 

Favorite artists: Tezuka Osamu, Miyazaki Hayao. William Bouguereau, Lawrence Alma, Musha,Linda Bergkvist, Craig Mulin,Steven Stahlberg, Ingres

97bzo(Eun hee choi) I started 3D from a very simple reason. 8 years ago, I needed a turning point and unexpectedly it turned out to be 3D. I started without any expectation but learning 3D very exciting and it was like waiting for art class at school when I was a child. I became to believe that my new work will be able to present me with something valuable in my life.

After preparing a portfolio, I applied for many positions and one animation studio contacted me. As I remember my portfolio was not so great at that time, but the director who hired me told me later that he was impressed with my portfolio because he thought I was very brave to hand in that portfolio. (Funny thing is the director who hired me is my husband, kjun)

We have moved on from the company we worked together. My husband works in a game company and I work as a freelancer.

I especially like fine pieces of William Bouguereau and Lawrence Alma. My happy dream is to make such beautiful illustration world like them. I think coming across 3D is my biggest fortune, since it enables me to draw even though my drawing skill is not so great.

 

Favorite movies & animation: The LOTR series, X-men series, Harry potter series, Ann of green gables,Fullmetal archemist,Howl's moving castle, The girl who leapt through time

 

Favorite books: The LOTR series,The Name of the Rose,Foucault's pendulum,The alchemist,

Classic myths
