Hello everybody! We proceed sequence of quick interviews with one of the best artists from Hum3D competitions.
Flavio Valenzi, writer of the “We Received One”, will reply six questions and provides us a glance behind the scenes of his work.
Inform us somewhat bit about your self. What do you do and the way did you develop into a 3D artist?
One Yr in the past with Simone Lai, one in every of my finest pals, I co-founded Bleeding Pixels Video games a online game indie firm. The corporate is fabricated from two, me because the one-man band for the artwork division, which incorporates 3D modeling, and my good friend and accomplice in a enterprise that covers with excellence the programming space and every thing else.
I studied Digital and Digital design, in Rome, and at Escape Studios, in London, which has given me nice bases for 3D modeling and design. Due to the professionals that I’ve met on my path, and in each workplace I’ve been working, I refined my abilities and gained expertise working 9 years overseas, initially in Germany (retoucher/digital artist/modeler and artwork director) and afterward in Japan (3d modeler). At the start of the Pandemic, I returned to Italy and I’m based mostly in Rome since then.
What was the workflow behind your newest problem picture? The place did the concept come from?
In regards to the final problem workflow, once I work in an workplace capability I usually depend on a 2D idea first, however for this particular form of mission and since I can deal with every thing on my own the steps have been the next: having an inventory of necessary particulars I wish to convey within the image, modeling the bottom of the surroundings and staging the topic of the scene into it, working concurrently on Maya and Octane render, I’m consistently updating, refining and checking angles, lights, temper, and supplies. Quick iterations aimed to refine each weak spot I understand from far and near the mannequin.
This workflow offers me an opportunity to discover the totally different emotions of the scene as an natural course of, on the finish I’ve collected screenshots and impressions in order that I can resolve which one would be the “hero shot” and the ultimate temper.
What challenges did the picture creation? Did you study one thing new?
The most important problem for me as a tough floor modeler when involves automotive is making a close-to-perfect low poly mannequin, which permits me to extend the polycount preserving the automotive define easy and nice. I don’t depend on nurbs so the low poly mannequin must be extraordinarily clear and balanced, typically is required to start out from scratch to keep away from previous errors in topology.
How usually do you do private tasks and hold your portfolio up-to-date? Which one is your favourite?
If I can I hold my portfolio up to date with private tasks month-to-month. My favourite is the 3D modeling of the Character from “The Expanse” Camina Drummer.
Additionally here’s a portrait impressed by “Nancy” from Stranger Issues. After the modeling, exhibits my battle with supplies, look/temper and hair modeling till the tip.
What or who evokes you right this moment? Are you a member of any artwork communities? Any favourite hashtags you examine every day?

In the intervening time I’m not lively in any artwork neighborhood however I like to examine right here and there, lovely works are all the time heartwarming for me.
