Having surfed the internet, I found information about 3Ds Max. Well, in a few hours 3Ds Max and some other books were downloaded/installed on my computer. I started to study them bit by bit. At the beginning I tried Cinema 4D, Maya and other programs, but there were some problems with them. Sometimes l did not work for months, but starting from the second year at the university, my 3Ds Max time increased until it occupied all my time. Therefore, I opened 3Ds Max for the first time in the December 29, 2009, but more serious classes began in 2012. – Your main specialty in 3D? Basically, I specialize in the exterior. The interiors are also present, […]

Brief: Name: Aleksey Krivosheyev Area of living: Kharkiv, Ukraine Working as: freelancer Expertise: Interiors, Exteriors You can find Aleksey: – How did you eventually get into 3D visualization? Initially, I came to this sphere when finishing my studies at the university, in the fifth year, while doing my master’s course. – What was your major at the University? Faculty of Computer sciences, specialization “Engineer-researcher of computer systems”. But in fact, we were taught how to do programming on C++, Java and web designing.

So it was in the fifth year when I got into computer graphics, 3D graphics. Actually, I originally liked to draw. The drawing was my hobby. How did you turn to design from programming? It’s surprising because usually, programmers aren’t creative people, they are more of a mathematical mindset and, therefore, they do not know how to draw. I initially thought to do programming for a living, but […]
