My name is Marco Spitoni, I live and work in <br />the north of Italy. I have been using 3DStudio MAX since its <br />first release (after 3Dstudio R4). <br /> I worked in special effects for commercials at the end <br />of the 80's, when physical models were used instead of CG. <br />In 1993 I was hired in a local videogames developer company <br />now known as Milestone who worked with Virgin IE and <br />EA Sports, for which I still work as senior artist. <br />My passion for 3D graphics began in 1995 with <br />3DStudio R4 when I wanted to re-create starship models <br /> from Star Wars movies, without using glue and plastic. <br /> Then I decided to enclose all those models <br />in one (all CG) short movie 'Join the Empire'. <br />Later, I've dedicated much of my spare time to develop <br />a new idea for a short movie project:'THE HUNT'. <br />You can download these animations in the Movies area. <br /> Despite the fact that working on long animations instead of <br />still 3D images is much more time consuming before you have <br />the final result, I do privilege this kind of expression. <br />I've always loved cinema and its language, and this is <br />a chance for me to tell a visually intriguing story, just using <br />my imagination and creative skills... just a 3D package and a PC. <br />
