IA: You seem to like teaching and communicating, do you think that Internet has changed much in the exchange of knowledge and this art specifically? NB: Yes, definitely. Back when I started there were no schools teaching 3D so online was the only place to learn how to make 3D artwork beyond the manuals that shipped with the software. The internet is a fantastic thing when it comes to teaching. It's available 24 hours a day to answer questions. I started using CompuServe before the internet became popular and got many invaluable lessons with regards to how to use software, techniques and suggestions on how to improve my artwork. I probably wouldn't be where I am today without online teaching. I see using the net as a powerful tool to anyone who wants to learn digital media. IA: What would you like to say to someone who is interested in starting in the 3D/2D field? NB: The field is so large and there's no one path that'll get you to wherever it is you want to go. Believe in yourself and remember that the most important thing is hard work. Be obsessed about what you do. Being a professional artist means you need to work hard and the easiest way to work hard is if you love doing what you do. If don't find yourself being passionate about making art then this may not be the right profession for you. IA: What is your own definition of art? NB: I believe art can be any tangible way in which one person is trying to communicate an idea or feeling to someone else. While I have far more specific guidelines |

as to what I consider good art I don't feel it's my place to tell someone that what they're making isn't art just because it personally does nothing for me. IA: Would you like to add anything else? NB:Just a big thank you to everyone who's enjoyed my art or used my tutorials and scripts over the years. I love hearing your feedback, both positive and negative, and thank you for taking the time to interact with my little world. And thanks for the interview. |
