| Bio:
|
|
In
1999 I graduated the Theater Faculty of Art University George
Enescu in Iasi, Romania where I finished at the top of my
class. This hasn't, however, offered me any advantages in
the crowded world of showbiz; filled with sharks, snakes,
monkeys, seals and sea lions. As an extra motivation to leave
acting, the wage for a newcomer in the Romanian theater sums
up to the equivalent of $50 a month. I attended theater school
out of a passion for the art and I don't regret it for a second,
it has been quite useful to me so far.
During
my studies I learned 3D modeling, starting with 3D Studio,
and 3D Studio Max from version 1.0 up to the version 3.0.
In case anyone wonders how I got the software, all I can say
is this: piracy is common practice in Eastern Europe. But
now I own a legal copy of 3D Studio Max 3.0.
Without
too many regrets I had left my acting career. I had a chance
soon after graduation to work with UbiSoft Romania. I currently
am employed with this company as a Game Designer.

| I
work with people that are a constant source of inspiration for
me. Even though I don't always agree with them, there's always
something to learn. |
| Favorite
Game Art: |
| Fallout,
Fallout 2,Quake III, Starcraft and Age of Empires
are very good looking games. |
| Why
I Got into the Industry: |
| My
reason for getting into the game developing industry is that
I want make a creative contribution to the world. As an extra
reason, they pay me for something that I like to do! |

Currently
I cannot live without my 3D Studio Max and my Photoshop, and
I wish I could have Maya!
|
| Music
I Listen to While Working: |
| Jesus
Christ Superstar, Pink Floyd, Marlyn Manson, Led Zeppelin, etc.
But there are days when I prefer to work in silence. |
