Most of my designing<br \/>\nhas been in virtual worlds, such as Activeworlds where I started,<br \/>\nAdobe&#8217;s now defunct Atmosphere, SecondLife, IMVU, Blink3D, and I&#8217;m just<br \/>\nstarting to design for Vivaty, which use&#8217;s a version of Flux Studio as<br \/>\na builder.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0033ff\">How long have you been designing?<\/font><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been designing all my life.&nbsp; I remember, as a child, looking<br \/>\nforward to vacations from school because I would have the time to make<br \/>\nthings from books I had taken out from the library &#8230; popsicle stick<br \/>\ncabins, pom pom creatures, bases for my star wars figures and<br \/>\nmicronaughts, houses for my plastic animals, puppets, <!-- s9ymdb:204 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"81\" width=\"110\" style=\"border: 0px none ;

Using the code of various muds, I designed<br \/>\nrooms and places, and even scripted objects that did cool things \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n3D digital art came into play&nbsp;as a medium&nbsp;around 1998\/89 when I found<br \/>\nActiveworlds and started making virtual worlds.&nbsp; This was a big change<br \/>\nfor me.&nbsp; I learned how to make 3D objects through writing rwx out by<br \/>\nhand in notepad, specifying vertices and polygons in text.&nbsp; And soon<br \/>\nafter, I started using 3D programs to make these objects, buildings,<br \/>\nand places.&nbsp; Soon after, Adobe launched their Atmosphere program, and I<br \/>\n<!-- s9ymdb:213 --><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/model\/4983\/chunky_lil_faery_gazebo.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"110\" width=\"83\" style=\"border: 0px none ;

Everything I make is<br \/>\nhand-built (meaning I don&#8217;t use a potters wheel), so even functional<br \/>\nitems are very sculptural.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<font color=\"#0033ff\">What are the advantages\/limitations of the 3D software you use?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I am learning more and more about 3D Studio Max.&nbsp; I actually started<br \/>\nusing it to design in IMVU.&nbsp; It takes a long time to learn everything<br \/>\nin this program, but the only way you can design animations and<br \/>\nclothing for IMVU is to use Max.&nbsp; So I had to get myself a license,<br \/>\nwhich costs a lot, so I could work with it.&nbsp; Over time I <!-- s9ymdb:209 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"100\" width=\"110\" style=\"border: 0px none ;

And really I can do pretty much everything I need<br \/>\nto do in Max now.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nMy favourite program, however, is Flux Studio 2.0.&nbsp; I love it because<br \/>\nof its easy to use extruding and lathing tools.&nbsp; It is also a great<br \/>\nprogram to start and finish making 3D worlds directly in VRML or X3D<br \/>\nfor places like Blaxxun or Vivaty.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/><font color=\"#0033ff\">How do you like Shapeways so far?<\/font><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nI love it!&nbsp; It&#8217;s brand new.&nbsp; It has some really nice staff (at least it<br \/>\ndoes now .. just wait until we beta testers break you down lol).&nbsp; And<br \/>\nmost of all it fills the dream of the digital 3D artist to bring<br \/>\nher\/his designs to life.&nbsp; Isn&#8217;t funny how when we start 3D design, it&#8217;s<br \/>\nmostly about the virtual, but eventually we always come back <!-- s9ymdb:206 --><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/model\/5129\/musette.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"82\" width=\"110\" style=\"border: 0px none ;

I find that, unless you are a big company<br \/>\nmaking prototypes for a factory, it&#8217;s very hard to get the sales people<br \/>\nin most 3D printing or molding facilities to take you seriously.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s evident that Shapeways has a small staff.&nbsp; They are testing out a<br \/>\nconcept.&nbsp; As beta testers,&nbsp;our job is&nbsp;to be patient at this beginning<br \/>\nstage.&nbsp; It&#8217;s all part of the process of growing a service.&nbsp;

It<br \/>\nlets you out, and nature in.&nbsp; A gazebo is the doorway that allows us<br \/>\nback into Eden.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAs a result, the gazebo has become, in some ways, a symbol of the Land of <span class=\"nfakPe\">Whyst<\/span>, which I have created in other platforms virtually.&nbsp;

I could go on<br \/>\nforever.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But instead of having a historical theme, it has a fantasy<br \/>\ntheme!&nbsp; So we don&#8217;t have to stick to history.&nbsp; And as a result, people<br \/>\ncan actually meet crazy wonderful creatures in the street like mermaids<br \/>\nand ogres!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nInitially it was a&nbsp;response to the fact that the local renaissance<br \/>\nfaire decided to close about 5 years ago.&nbsp; What happened when the fair<br \/>\nclosed, was that many local craftpeople, merchants, and performers were<br \/>\nleft without work in the summer.&nbsp; Faery Fest is just a weekend, so it&#8217;s<br \/>\none of the many opportunities that have arisen to fill the need.&nbsp; But<br \/>\nFaery Fest has become much more than this.&nbsp; It has become an<br \/>\ninspiration for faery lovers, mystics, families, and artists.&nbsp; I&#8217;m<br \/>\nreally proud to be a part of it.<br \/><font color=\"#0033ff\"><br \/>Is designing a hobby for you?
