Hi! I'm Alvaro Castañeda, best known as "varomix". I lost a little of my self back in 1993 at a Jurassic Park screening, and that totally changed my life. Toy Story finished the job in 1995 - there was no turning back! I started my way in 3D back in 1998, first using 3ds Max, then Cinema4D and finally in 1999, I met Maya 2.0. Since then I've done CGI for print, web, TV, Film, DVD, I guess anything that has pixels in it!

    Cool, thanks!
    I can do the same effect procedurally in 3ds max but with more pain.
    Still I’m looking forward to learn Houdini.
