What could be improved for you?

I would like to see real edges in Modeler. Vertices work, but edges would make it even easier.

What spec machine(s) are you using it on at the moment?

AMD 64 3500+, 2GB RAM, GeForce Ti4800

Are there any plug-ins you wouldn't be without?

Since version 8.x there's really no plug-in that I can't "be without". I rarely use any plug-ins these days actually.

But some plug-ins are great for a few occasions. One that I found just a few days ago is "TAZ Pipe", which creates geometry around splines with realtime feedback!

I also like UV-Imaginator, for saving out UV maps at the desired resolution, with the colours and file format that I want.

For Layout, I really like "TB_fakeSKin". I use it quite a lot for my cartoon characters to get a soft look, that renders fast.

You can see the result if you look at the Dragon and the Lion images attached to this interview.

In your opinion, should LightWave 3D stay separated or become integrated?

Personally I really don't care. For my needs (modelling, texturing, rendering) the separation isn't that big a deal. It has its ups and downs just like anything else.

Do you have a particular favourite fantasy artist who inspires your work?

For fantasy art I tend to like the old artists, such as "Rolf Lidberg" and "John Bauer".

I find their works very believable and descriptive. Maybe it's because they at this time (early 1900) still believed in these kinds of creatures? Or maybe it's because they didn't add big weapons and big boobed chicks? :)

Other artists that inspires me in different styles are Ahmed Guerrouache, Alexandre Boudon, Steve Lambe and plenty of others.

Also TV series like Samurai Jack and the Jetsons - I tend to lean towards the 50s cartoon style a lot recently.

What made you choose "Fellah" as your forum identity?

That was from the beginning of my 3D-adventure. Some friends and I where starting a "demo group" and I needed a "handle" to use on the net. But it wasn't so easy to decide on a name.. So finally we let faith decide. A friend took a dictionary, opened a page and pointed!

You mentioned clay etc. Are you a sculptor as well?

Nah, I wouldn't classify myself as a sculptor. I've just been playing around with supersculpey at home and took some sculpting courses at school.
