-As you can read on my home page, I'm a low/high poly modeling artist, I have also skills on render, animation, rigging, texturing, dynamics, composition and more. What I like most while I'm working on CG is to create nice environment images and animations, actual searching job.

In 1989 he had his first encounter with 3d FX in movies. This fact inspired him very much, so he started to learn 3d studio. In 1998 he decided to get inside the pro gaming world. He won numerous tournaments playing quake´s until 2005 as a.k.a "polter".
