Peter Laverty

"I am originally from the mountains and the sea of the northeast coast of Ireland. I graduated with a degree in 3D Design, and I felt like a misfit until I came across Blender. The open-source and free software, along with some great tutorials, really helped me to understand the 3D modeling process and develop my skills in photorealistic rendering and animation. After achieving some success in being shortlisted for international design competitions with Peroni/Alessi, Heineken, and Oakley, I decided to return to the area where I felt I had not achieved enough. Hard surface modeling, 3D printing, and algorithmic design have now become my focus. My next goal is to manufacture some concepts that I have been working on with the aid of Rhino3D and Grasshopper. Watch this space as I master my craft.
