HOBBIES :

   I have played drums for 15 years (8 years in my father's Big Band Jazz). I am actually playing in Leeds with some bands and DJ's. I play piano and bass too but not in front of an audience. I write music as well, for myself and sometimes for my multimedia projects.
I own few scale-model racing cars. We recently formed a club with my brother and some friends with a brand new 1/8 off-road track.
   I ski when I have got time and money.
   And of course conventional 3D and 3d web design. It is a real hobby on its own. I'd rather spend a day building something than playing a video game. I like the creation aspect. Building something from scratch is a great feeling especially with interactive content. I like conventional 3D because of the creation process more than the obvious passive results (images or movies).
