GWNews : Great to have the honor to meet you, Frodo. You are a very inspired and famous artist in Second Life, how do you process to create such wonderful artworks ?
Frodo Siegel : Many people ask my about my 3D artwork, which program I use etc.
I play around with 3D programs since 1996/1997, basically with Bryce and Poser. My new 3D Artwok with DAZ|Studio started ends 2006.
Working with DAZ|Studio is like in Poser, usually you not create 3D models by your own, you buy them ore use freebees and then morph, pose and texture them. I never pretend my work in 3D with DAZ|STUDIO is «Art» like Rembrand, Picasso.. is just something I do for fun. I use Pre-packaged or downloadable models. I texture them, morph them, pose them. Many art work like fotographie, film, collage, theatre use «Pre-packaged» models.. lol.. The point is not what you use, the point is how you use.. .
It a little bit like a digital dollhouse. But no program can give you creativity…
It’s like with the paint brush and a blank canvas… up to you what you want and can do…
It’s sound easy, but If you want do what you want do in this program, it is some work to do…
I usually use on evening up to create one of my figures, to morph the head like I want and the body like I want.
To choose and change the skin. To find cloths who suits to the figure and change the textures.
(But sometimes the figures get alive and they do want they want….)
The same proceeder with the environments and the props.
I often change props or use them like the maker maybe not expect…
I sometimes also import obj-files and prepare them in a other 3D programs.
I make myself skies and backgrounds in Bryce. The other way is also possible and sometimes better: to prepare the figures in DAZ|Studio, export them and and make the scene in Bryce.
