I am letting you all know that I am working on two new 3D images. One will be aiming for photorealism and the other one is artistic. The photo realistic scene is in the works from early of 2005 and the artistic one, from late summer of the same year. Since I started working on the artistic one, no new personal 3D image has been released. I was busy working on it ;). During this year, 2007, I will finish the artistic image and resume work on the photo realistic one.

For doing the artistic image, I've learned many new things in 3D, so I hope it will be something nice ;). Few things I learned: management of big scenes [millions of polygons], simple rigging, 3D painting, poly-by-poly modeling and many other things. See the work in progress page for more details.

I haven't updated the site, because I am generally very busy. Yet, today I had the time to do so.

What's new:

• IFMA 3D elevators 2nd package. My collaboration has continued, therefore this is the new package of 3D elevators for their catalogs.
• two new web sites:
  • PRO-net.ro. For an Internet Service Provider in Arad, Romania.
  • Poetry Festival. A web site for a high-school music and poetry festival organized annually in Arad, Romania.
• a book cover for the Poetry Festival.
• a new page in this web site: Web programming (no longer available) in Exhibition. This page was created in an effort to provide users visiting this site with the latest toys Mihai is working on, the web programmer of this web site.

This is almost everything new I have worked on. I am always working on new stuff.

Today I released a new 3D image named Mushroom Kingdom. I hope you like it!

Today I published a new wallpaper named Freshalicious. I hope you like it as well!

Today I released on the site a new 3D image, called "Bed room". This is a photo-realistic render of a bed room, in a beautiful morning. The 3D scene does not contain any lights. The illumination is generated using radiosity. For the bed we used sub-polygonal displacement. Rendering took 51 hours in Cinema 4D and AR.

Also, I made a book cover for "Multi-Precision Mathematics". Authors: Mads Rasmussen, Greg Rose and Tom St. Denis.

I finished a new wallpaper named Summer sky. It is a photo-realistic render, looking directly at the sun with a very high FOV made with Terragen.

I release now the IFMA project which is the biggest project I worked on until now.

"Societatea Română de Ascensoare IFMA S.A." (a Romanian company which creates elevators) needed a presentation catalog of their elevators. In June to September 2003, I worked for 6 high quality, photo-realistic renders of elevators, ready for typography, in CMYK color format. I also created 36 more variations at a lower quality for a CD presentation application which allows the IFMA clients to customize their own elevator by picking the materials and the models they want for ceilings, floors, walls, control panels and other components. For the catalog I also rendered few very detailed close-ups of the displays, ceilings, floors, control panels and others.

In the IFMA elevators project page you can find more details about this project and also see all the images I made.

Hello!

I now had the time to update the website! Here are the latest images (sorted from the newest to the oldest): My computer v2, Sphere world, Dark place and On the mountains.

Hello!

I've been talking about the "Christmas Spirit". I finally had the time to make an image called "Xmas Spirit".

The New World image is now posted in the 3D section.
