Beyond Morrowind
Bethesda’s latest chapter to their Elders Scrolls saga, Oblivion, is promising leaps in advanced AI and gorgeous graphics. Their previous game, Morrowind, was so beautiful when it was released 4 years ago, that the first steps outside of the village in the beginning gave an overwhelming sense of freedom.

Impressive characters

Published interview !
Great news ! Studio Multimedia, one of the most popular french magazine about 3D graphics and design just published a 4 pages article and interview about my work 🙂 The initial interview happened in March.
