Interview with Ralf Stumpf


Q. If you could invent your dream job, where would you work & what would be your job title?

I love to develop a project. My dream is to work on a movie project as a concept artist and character modeler.


Q. Which area of 3d do your really enjoy doing?

I have great fun to have an idea and then to bring it into a 2d sketch. After there is built a clean base mesh the real fun begins by bringing it into ZBrush, adding life and soul.


Q. What’s the most useful thing you have learnt in 3d?

3d is a good education to think in three dimensions, in forms and volumes.


Q. What is one piece of advice you would give to any artist looking to get into 3D?

To develop not only the technical side. 3d programs are only a tool. Drawing and painting in 2d is important too. Look around on the net and learn from other great artists. Be different, be you.


Q. Are you working on any projects currently? If so, what are they?

I continue the work on Scary Toons and I work on some projects to develop CG characters for real time. Thereover I’m involved in a beta project.


Q. Anything you like to add? It is your chance now to state your opinion about anything.

I hope for me and for all the people in the world to live and work together in freedom.
