Interview with Steven Stahlberg

By JackDavidsonOLD February 22, 2000 2:24 PM

Steven Stahlberg is a 3d CG artist who has created some really lifelike 3d models and is a pioneer in the virtual actor/actress field. Here is a short excerpt from his site describing himself: Although cg has been my dream since -78 -79, I wasn't able to get near it until 1990, when I could afford to buy a pc with AutoCad. (AutoCad?) I was newly moved into Hong Kong, doing freelance illustration, and completely isolated from any sort of 3d influence, and so clueless I walked into the nearest computer mall and asked the first pc dealer I met what I should buy! I had time to build one model - a cool Stuka bomber - before I found Silicon Graphics. Again clueless, I bought what the SGI dealer offered me - a used 4D20 'Personal Iris', their lowest end model, without Z-buffer or anything, with a 200 Mb harddisk, and some free demo software (by Alias and Wavefront), for about 13,000US$. I tried the free BRML-CAD, a solid modeller used by the US military, for a while. Then I found Alias Animator, and later Power Animator, and I stuck with that until just recently, when I've switched to Alias Maya, the best 3d character software in the world. We also added some of his images to our gallery. Read the interview
