The 3D Rooms

I was graduated as a Civil Engineer and spent almost 7 years as a Structural Engineer in Encona Engineering Inc, in Jakarta, Indonesia. But since I was also involved in setting up the SOP to automate the Design and Drafting, I was exposed to AutoCADŽ and start doing some programming in AutoLISP in 1985, on top of my BASIC and FORTRAN in FEM stuff. I got chance to work with machine ranging from Apple II, IBM PCs, HP 1000 series, Digital VAX751, Apollo Domain DN3000, and others. Also I do some of my Structural analysis using GTSTRUDL from Georgia Tech.

In 1989, I quit my job as Structural Engineer and become a Technical Manager in one of the Autodesk VAR in Indonesia, and setting up an Authorized Training Center in Jakarta. As the more demand of Architectural Visualization increase, I used the early 3D graphics software called BIG-D, and then move up using Autodesk Renderman and Autodesk 3D Studio.

In 1991, the company spin off to make a division in Computer Graphics & Animation using Softimage 1.61 on an SGI Personal Iris 25TG. During that period I also did some Demos and Training for Softimage VAR in Singapore, and Softimage in NAB & Siggraph.

In 1993, I join Gema Cipta Media Animasindo, also using Softimage, Eddie, and a new introduction to Matador from Parallax. I use parallax mostly because it's macros and channels, and the scripting I found really powerful, we do digital ink and paint job for local Cartoon Film Production.

In 1995, I join Pyramid International Image, as a 3D Animator, and I would like to put some of my works in this page. As the demands of local market start increasing, in 1996 Pyramid bought one unit of Henry V6 Concurent Editor.

In 1997, I join Videotama Kwartamas (a.k.a Video Headquarter Jakarta), and work with FlintRT Digital Image Integrator from Discreet Logic.

In 1999, I join Postindo Promedia Audiovisual (a.k.a Post-Office), still using Softimage 3D and Alias|Wavefront, and compositing using Inferno and Flint, and Fire for Editing.
