Summary

I was born in Budapest, Hungary, where I became interested in 3D Landscape Art during my college studies. I have been working with Vue and Photoshop for six years, and with the invaluable help of highly skilled 3D masters, I have managed to improve my skills to a professional level as a 3D Landscape Artist.

Before founding D&D Creations, I worked for three years in the video game industry as a terrain & level designer, and I have completed several 3D visualization projects as a freelance artist. I am also a contributing author of 3D Artist magazine.

I am honored to say that I’ve won several awards given by E-on Software and other art sharing sites with my work. I have published six tutorial articles for 3D Artist and many of my works were showcased in the magazine. I designed the cover image for 3D World Issue 156, and some of my making-of tutorials are available online.

Currently I work and live in central Netherlands, where I founded D&D Creations, a studio offering 3D Visualization, 3D Content, Training and Audio Production services with Michel Rondberg. Besides working in the studio as a 3D Landscape Artist and Creative Director, I also work as a Software Specialist for Vue and as a Product Copyright Consultant at YURdigital. Via D&D Creations, I was honored to work on commercials, documentaries, educational films, for amusement parks and in Virtual Reality projects, including a promotional video for Beechcraft's King Air 350i, the Aqua Bella show of Dolfinarium Harderwijk, De Gouden Eeuw for The Historical Museum of Amsterdam, INSURGENT - SHATTER REALITY VR Experience and many more...
