Since I can think I have a great pas-sion for drawing and creative work. After high school I wanted to make this passion my profession in order to make my contri-bution to society.During my Indu-strial Design Course at the Politecnico di Milano I learned that the possibilities to work and create

Considering that the job of a 3D Modeler in the au-tomotive field is quite often “fickle”, I’ve decided to use my free time to practice my skills on something that I always loves and is one of my personal pas-sion: GAMING.Lately I’ve found my-self quite interested with the Virtual Card Game HEARTHSTONE from BLizzard (from the same creators of World of Warcrfat) and the result of few weeks of work is these 2 models of the front and back of the collectable cards

realized with ALIAS DESIGN from Autodesk and ICEM Surf from Dassault Systèmes.Both models have been realized starting from a front picture of the card and after a first phase of “sketching” the basic lines, I’ve used the Rules of the A-Class surfacing to realize every single millimi-ter of the model and always keeping 0.001 max de-viation for the position and 00°00’05’’ degrees of deviation, matching everything with G2 for a per-fect transition of the light and highlights.
