Tought it would be nice to know you "boys and girls" a little better. So how
old are you, how long have you been working with 3d & photorealism,
and how came you started to work with it.

Me!
Name: Tobias Wigstrand
Age: 25
From: A small town in Sweden
Family: Girlfriend, and togheter we have a 2 year old daughter.
Worked with 3d: About 2 years
Worked with Photorealism: About 10 mounths. (Since I first saw a maxwell-rendered picture)
Why: I studied "game-development for internet" in 2003-2005.
We developed web-games using shockwave and shockwave 3D. We had
a small course in 3d-modelling too, but we didnt learn anything. If we
wanted to learn, we got to learn it ourself. I formed my own company
during that time, but eventually I got tired of the market, since
macromedia didnt release anything new, and I found out that 3d was
much more fun than programming. :P So, I worked more and more with
3D and eventually I ran into Maxwell, and got really excited about it. And
here I am, stuck in this forum :D . Still running my own company.

(I hope you understand my poor english. :wink: )

Worked with 3d: since university (worked at the cad, cgi departement)
Worked with Photorealism: since maxwell first alpha, a friend at university introduced me to maxwell render
Why: I like photorealism alot, and I believe this to be the future for all designing (everything will be rendered and sold before even any real 3d object has been created, industrial design, architecture, you name it)

From: Uster, near Zurich, Switzerland
Family: my dad, brother, mum, grandparents, no girlfriend :(
Worked with 3d: hobbyist since about 12 years
Worked with Photorealism: StrataStudio's radiosity demo version which didn't work. i tried to render dispersion with caustics but i think i was a little ahead of my time... sadly.
Why: i have the goal of utopian, perfect photorealism. this is my only way and goal. i want maxwell rendered hollywood films and nothing less ! problem: computers are 1000 times too slow. again, i'm ahead of my time. damned !
