Who am I ?

My name is Cassio, and I was born in 1965. I'm working for a governamental institution, TI department : Support... Need to say more ?

I'm married, and my daughter is in two years old now. In my free time I love to play with photoshop, studio max and other computer programs. As a brazilian, I love football of course!

My PC ? An Athlon 1.2 Ghz with 1 gb ram and a HD with 120 mb.

Short history about me and my hobby

Science Fiction have been my passion since 1976, when I was in eight years old... Long time, don't you think ? In 1976, a friend of mine, Carlos, presented me the USS Enterprise, together with some original designs made by him. After that, I started to draw some starships too, read Isaac Asimov's books and see all scifi movies that I could. The list includes Space 1999, Star Trek, Voyage to the bottom of sea, Buck Rogers in the 25th century, Galactica, Black Hole, Logan's Run, Cyborg, The Humanoid, Star Wars... and so on. I tryed to write some scripts too, but I had a limited skill and left it behind.

In 1983 Carlos died in a accident, and I lost my best friend. I got less time to do new scifi drawings. In 1986 another friend presented me the Columbia's mesh made in Autocad (DOS version), and I got fascinated about CGI models, but Autocad was so hard to learn that I lost my interest. Anyway, I didn't had a PC....

From 1986 to 1994, I got side tracked by work, study, sports and other things, so, I gave a break to my drawings. I bought my first PC in 1990, an AT286, and the second in 1994, a Pentium 100.

In 1997 a friend of mine, Marcelo presented me the 3d Studio Max R2, and it renewed my interest about CGI models and scifi. Could I build, finally, some CGI starships ? It was the time to buy a new PC, and I bought a Pentium II, starting to fight (yes, to fight !!) with the 3d Studio Max R2.

1998: "Internet ? What is that ?" Yes, I said it... Anyway, I started to play, and found the Wolfpack site, now without activity since 1997. That's was a mark. After that, I found Scifi-Art, the second mark. I'd found my home...

From 1999 to 2005 there were five versions of this site, all of them with references about "the most famous starships from all the times". The target was: provide references for 3d modellers. With the version 6, comes a lot of new screencaps, meshes, some tutorials and new friends, as you.

Hope that you like of this site. Enjoy !
