3D Modeling, Yeah - We do that.

Recently I got the most random of random phone calls. Alex Ostroy called me to tell me:

“Hey, I saw your work on Luxology.com and I think you’ve got some nice stuff.”

I sank back into my chair just about ready to let yet another cold-caller know that I wasn’t buying anything when he basically offered me a job. He was in bad shape on a project he was doing for a little weekly magazine you might have heard of because he was using software he wasn’t intimately familiar with. Having been a long time user of modo I told him not to worry too much and that I’d help him however I could.

What followed was a many-houred session of technical assessment of his scene file to get some embossing looking just right on the outer curvature of the large whiskey bottle. Additionally I helped out with some of the materials elsewhere in the piece.

We don’t advertise some of the varied services we offer here but one thing is constant and perfectly illustrated in this case. When we look to bring new people into the team we always look for at least one extra thing that people are passionate about. In my particular case it’s 3d modeling and sometimes illustration. The serendipity of this case is almost too tantalizing to avoid.

Since then he’s come back for more and I (for myself) sincerely hope we can get something more substantial going in the nearest of all possible futures.

His response to the work we were able to provide?

“Thomas assistance proved invaluable, I had actually tried working with a few other Modo users, but they seemed like they were just a page ahead of me in the manual, Thomas knew his stuff cold and his generosity knows no bounds” -Alex Ostroy

Thanks Alex… Thanks.
