Hi everyone! We continue series of short interviews with the best artists from 3DModels competitions.
Daniel Yanuario, author of the „Nostalgia“, will answer six questions and give us a look behind the scenes of his work.
I’m an Architect by profession but currently do freelance work as a general 3D modeller. I started out with CAD and Sketchup before during my university days and I really liked making 3D renderings, visualizations and all of that.
During covid, I got stuck at home with no job and got nothing to do so I took up Blender as a hobby and over the course of the pandemic I eventually got good at it and started earning from it through freelancing.
Let’s just say I was in a rough patch in life at the time and was reminiscing about the past when things were simpler and happier. I was thinking, like wouldn’t it be nice to go back in time and relive your past memories? So I made a rendering out of it.
I mostly used Blender for this and a bit of Photoshop just for color adjustments. My difficulties were more on my motivation to actually finish the work. I like to start a lot of projects but end up not finishing them out of laziness.
In fact the car model I featured was a personal project I started a long time ago in an effort to learn 3D modelling but I wasn’t able to finish it until I saw the opportunity to finally make something out of it when I decided to join the car render challenge.
I used to do quite a lot of personal projects back when I was still learning the software, however I don’t do It as much anymore due to not having enough time lately. As for my portfolio, I don’t have a lot to put in there as I still have yet to finish all the projects I have started.
Out of all the works I’ve done, this is my favorite; as I have put effort and much of my personality into this set of artwork.
I guess it’s my online friends whom I play games with who encourage me to do the things I normally don’t have the motivation to do.
– Don’t be lazy haha. Try to find motivation for creating art.
– Be patient. Art isn’t something you do in a day.
– Work efficiently. Get the most out of doing little.
– Practice discipline. This is something I’m working on as well.
– Have fun. Stop worrying about the outcome too much and just enjoy the process.
