3DTotal: And what would be your ideal job?
Krishnamurti: As always, the one I’m in right now ;-) If you’re doing what you love to do, getting paid for that and having the respect of your co-workers and supervisors, that also allows you to create and experiment, that is the perfect job and that’s what I have right now.
3DTotal: Where do you see yourself in a 10 years time?
Krishnamurti: I have no idea! 10 years ago I was married to my ex-wife, working in a bank, living in a very small city in Brazil and driving a motorcycle!
Today everything is so completely different! 10 years is a lot of time in our short lives. Maybe taking care of my children that I haven't yet had. Maybe still working in the industry, using some futuristic and revolutionary new software/hardware, which will make me feel even more insignificant as an artist :) Who knows? I just want to be happy with what I accomplished as an artist and a human being. I need to improve my work and myself, always.

3DTotal: Who inspires you artistically?
Krishnamurti: Always the old masters in first place. They deserve all my respect. Not only painters like Caravaggio, Goya, Dali, Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, Tiziano etc. Not only sculptors like Michelangelo, Rodin, Bernini etc but also musicians like Bach, Bethoven, Mozart, Rossini among others. All of these guys are a profound inspiration since I was a kid and I'm sure that they will follow me until my last day. I also get inspiration from the nature, my wife, friends, other digital artists, cinema and design. Everything inspires the artist. If just few things/people inspire someone that consider himself an artist I can tell you that the guy is a liar or his artistic universe is very limited ;-) Everything, from a disaster to a newborn baby can be a font of |

inspiration. For sometime now, I’m more inspired by the Special FX artists and traditional sculptors than anything or anyone else, probably because I’m a full time modeler now.
3DTotal: What is one piece of advice you would give to any artist looking to get into 3D?
Krishnamurti: People have no more reasons to complain about lack of information. Internet is your friend. Google can help you a lot. 3DTotal and other CG online resources are a font of great tutorials. Great art and animation schools all around of the world. If you are not interested to search things or work hard I feel sorry to tell you that maybe you will have no future doing 3D and even worst if you are planning to get into the industry. People working in the industry are curious by nature and responsible for new techniques that a lot of times come from a mix of ideas from different sources. Working hard and being curious, you can have much more chance to get into the 3D world/industry. One thing you can't forget: technique is the smaller part! To learn a new technique is the simplest thing. What you really need is a good art background to succeed doing CG in general. The best CG artists I know are great traditional sculptors, painters etc. More art fundamentals can make your transition very easy sometimes. The mantra is "curiosity and hard work...".
Thank you 3DTotal for the opportunity.
Kris
