"It is a rare occasion that I am not totally impressed with some subtlety in a lighting blend, reflection nuance or shadow cast that elevates my image to a level I could not have originally imagined at the start."
Nick is a freelance illustrator who works on a diverse range of projects, including technical cutaways, consumer and trade advertising, textbook illustrations, animations and virtual prototypes for pre-production design review and marketing. His work avoids the "looks like it comes from a computer" label and as his images contain many 1000's of polygons it is important that he uses software that not only allows the creation of highly realistic images but which will also render such large image very quickly.
Nick uses form•Z RenderZone, from auto•des•sys Inc, which includes the LightWorks rendering engine. The use of integrated LightWorks technology enables users to produce a level of higher quality photorealism within their images which is unique to LightWorks. Nick believes that form•Z is
"...the best 3D application for the Macintosh platform"
and that it"...continues to deliver important improvements and upgrades."
Why Use RenderZone?
Nick says that he uses form•Z because ...
"form•Z is simply the most intuitive modelling and design program available today with an array of modelling tools that makes the act of creating complex organic shapes a reality rather than a false promise that ends after long hours of effort. It always makes me look good to my clients."
