Interview with Faraz Mobin
Do you do any preliminary drawing about the character before start the modeling? What’s your process of modeling?
For modeling, I feel really bad to say no. It’s all directly from my head, but that by no means is a good thing. I strongly suggest to everyone to do some sketches. I have been drawing in art books since first grade, and I am still bad at it. Recently, I am ZBrush to create quick doodles before I refine them; I guess that counts as long as the ideas get transferred to some format.
Do you have an aim or dream as an artist? What are your hobbies and please describe your free time, if you have any?
Not a dream but as one of my aims, learn to develop a really good game, and as long as it takes. For hobbies, I like participating in 3d challenges like Dominance War, ComicCon and Hardcore Modeling Challenges. Other than that spending most of my time playing games, some for learning and fun like Crysis, and others like Counterstrike for spending some free time>
How’z the CG market in UAE, govt. of UAE supporting the CG industry in any way?
In the past, it was all architecture and there was a huge need of artist and companies that can make pre-visualization of buildings, football fields and shopping malls, but it’s changing. Dubai police has another department that does cartoons and 3D animated Short Films for public awareness, and I'm sure that Abu Dhabi Police along with other government agencies are doing something similar, so yes the government is supporting a lot. The region has a lot of independent studios most of them located at Dubai Media City.
For an upcoming artist what is necessary to understand for good modeling and which are the most common mistakes you seen in the modeling for other artists?
Well, I'm in there too with all the other artist that make common mistakes, so I will be pointing most of the mistakes I did and still do sometimes, for one we need to have a goal, there is no point in stacking mesh after mesh if there isn't any goal to start with. After the goal is set, we need to lay down some ideas like a sketch or a doodle which we can easily modify and not end up with something we don't like in the end.
Anything you like to add? It is your chance now to state your opinion about anything.
I would like to thank my parents, friends and coworkers for all the support and inspiration, and good luck to everyone in making the world go around.
