Feel the need for speed in the interview with Neubi3D

Do you like fast cars? I’m sure you do, it’s one of the unifying features of you hotshot 3D designers. Well, nobody loves those hot cars more than our own Neubi3D. From Dodge Charger SRT8 to Lamborghini Huracan to… Tow Mater?... his passion for 3D car models is undeniable. With that in mind, we have asked Neubi3D a few questions about 3D modeling, life and everything.

Can you tell us a little about yourself?

Hi, my name is Sven Neubert, I am 39 years old and I live in Germany. I started working with 3D modeling programs in 1993-1994 when I had an Amiga 1200 with 6MB RAM.

How did you break into the industry? What helped you get your first job/sale?

Before selling my first 3D model, I had only modeled for fun. My first best-selling model was "Corvette C7 2013" - it was used in a video game (Gran Tourismo 5 - PS3).

What do you think are the most important skills for a designer to have?

Designer skills? First of all, he should have a good taste in what he does!

What kind of research do you do before you start a project? Do you go with the flow or have a very good idea how everything goes?

I do careful research as well as collect and evaluate many reference pictures before I start. I model only what I personally really like.

How would you best describe your projects in three words?

Rare, powerful, beautiful.

What tool would you consider indispensable for your work?

Coffee! I jest, of course it is Blender 3D.

What would you recommend a beginner to start with and what to avoid? What would you have told yourself when you were starting out ?

Beginners can benefit from architectural studies, because they introduce to 3D modeling software. This way you can learn and move on to more complex matters.

What/who are your influences in life?

Motosport and my fans.

How do you take a break from work? What are your hobbies?

I practice muscle sports.

Are there any future projects you can tell us about?

I plan to model more racing or exceptionally designed cars.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

It is hard to predict what the future holds. I enjoy the present and easily adapt to new things.
