Background:
Beginning: VRML And Immersive 3D
My name is Jordi R. Cardona.
Since I was a child, I always felt a big interest for 3D, in the times when it was just fractal landscapes in a C64 screen.
Years ago, I entered in the VRML world via a book that gathered the lessons of SIGGRAPH 98 Conference and a site called LucidSpace, and made some friends in virtual worlds.
I took some time learning to master that language, and developed many code snippets and examples, and a big harvest of links.
With all that, I founded a group of VRML and Virtual Reality and I have administered it since the year 2002, until year 2008. It became one the biggest Yahoo groups of VRML, X3D and Virtual Reality.
That project and its official website tried to increase the interest in VRML (the Virtual Reality Modeling Language). It was named in a remarkable computer magazine of my country, and linked by some Universities' websites.
Years later I became interested in virtual reality and took a master course ("Close encounters with virtual reality and expert tips") about virtual reality and VR software, directed by Carolina Cruz Neira, Executive Director and Chief Scientist at the Louisiana Immersive Technologies Enterprise (LITE).
My wife, Emma Alvarez, digital artist, always helped me with the aesthetic side of the 3D worldbuilding. Her artistic view and ideas have always been a great support for me in all my projects.
I am also the developer of the X3DV Module Suite for Netbeans. The X3DV Module Suite is a free set of modules to code in X3D and VRML. I have also developed a similar language pack for Notepad++, called NppX3D.
Currently: 3D Modeling
During all my life I had many skills that seemed not to be connected at all. As time passed, I realized that everything I liked, and everything that I did well was pointing to something: 3D modeling. Geometry, the study of minerals and shapes, photography, paleontology, history, geology, code hacking, animation, clay modeling, biology, computers... all lead to 3D modeling.
The important point in one's life is to recognize what you can do better and do it, and keep on learning all your lifelong.
My main occupation is 3D modeling and developing my own 3D products, in which I put my many skills in different areas, developed after years of learning, into action.
That, and specialized writing about 3D, and proof of that is that Hiperia3D News has become one of the most respected, influential and popular sources about 3D.
This Site: Hiperia3D News
I started this site to keep contact with the 3D community in general, and promote good sites of resources and knowledge.
I try to make simple what is complex, and select the essential of what happens in our topic, always trying to avoid the news that everyone has already heard, and selecting those that may be more innovative or interesting.
The name of this site is hiperia3d.com because one of my former projects was called that way, using the non-English spelling of the word hyperia, which means an over-stimulated state of perception. That project became very familiar to people from France, so it inherited the spelling with Latin "i".
It's my desire that this project would be one of your Internet tools to help you stay connected to the 3D community.
Welcome, and hope you enjoy your stay here.
