be good at say drawing or painting to be able to work in CG?
Viktor: I did show some talent in drawing since the very beginning. I won a couple of art contests at Budapest in grammar school then I went to study at an art class in high school. After that somehow it was a straight line leading me to the architectural faculty at the uni. Sooner or later I'm pretty sure that I would have come across 3d anyway. It's just the way of the future. I am happy that I'm getting paid now for something I would be doing for a hobby. Unfortunately on the way here somewhere I lost the interest for (well not the interest more like time to spend on...) hobbies like drawing and filming which used to be my passion. I like to watch the ones I made once in a while. I feel sorry that I don't have the time for these anymore.

3DTotal: Your image ‘Couch by the Window’ is to be included in 3dtotal’s latest addition of Digital Art Masters. Could you tell us about its creation and in particular the lighting methods used?
Viktor: For me that image means a lot! It was kind of a break point in my work. Before that I only did renders that qualify as arch viz only. A nice kitchen, living room or an exterior of a building all rendered with no real value. Then this render came that had no special effect. It wasn't interesting because of the rendering technique but only because of the powerful composition. I like to believe that this image will be worth looking at years after now. The lightning is to support this theory as well: there are two light sources only. There is one vray plane at the windows to provide the main

3DTotal: Your portfolio is largely focused around architecture and interior design. What is it about these subjects that interests you so much and have you considered exploring different genres?
Viktor: I am fond of architecture! I love the relationships between volumes and playing with light and shadow. I haven’t ever really tried my hand at other genres and I am not planning on doing so. I am only interested in architectural renders. I

rarely ever click on any other threads.

3DTotal: Do you have any interesting up and coming projects that you can share with the readers of 3DCreative?
Viktor: I am working for a company that buys and refurbishes valuable landmark buildings. As a 3D artist, it’s a very interesting project! These buildings are beautiful and with the new refurbishment, the traditional old style mixes with the new design and materials. My first big project for this company was the Exchange Palace in Budapest. Never before have I worked on a huge project like this. I had to model the whole building from the outside and all its main rooms.

The first image I have shown from this project is called “In Waiting...” which is my own interpretation of the original hall, but there are more other interesting topics from this building that I am planning to make soon.
