doug chiang industrial light + magic

hey guys i have an assignment to do on doug chiang, because he is famous and was trained as an industrial designer (what i will be LOL)

well i was wondering how much people knew about him. hes super famous in the 3d graphics scene i think with terminator and such.

anyway thanks for any links or info people have about him.

Alltaken (BTW i wanted to choose him as a subject to study because my name is doug too, and because its the same field of passion :slight_smile: )

Maybe you should just email him? It’s gotta be doug at dougchiang.com. you never know he might be a really nice bloke with nothing better to do. Make sure to ask him what he thinks of Blender though. :smiley:

Just to qualify the last post…

Yup he’s a really nice bloke.

I met him a few years ago at my brother’s wedding (my brother & his wife both work for ILM) just b4 Star Wars 1 came out.

However, please realise that given his reputation he probably gets flooded with stuff like this all the time - it’s worth a shot, just dont’t be disappointed if you just get the brush off.

On the Blender front - as you’ve probably seen by now from his web site he’s very much a ‘traditional’ artiist/ designer. That is he comes up with the concept stuff & doesn’t really touch the CGI side too much other than (in the case of Star Wars) to say whether it matches the images in his head or not - if that makes sense…

Sorry for being so negative.

lol thanks man, you can hook me up witha phoen interview :stuck_out_tongue:

BTW i am an industrial designer, so yeah i will ahve the same qualifications as he does. it will help because i may end up i the exact same field of work and position that he is in.

thanks people
