But since I could have been much more productive with LightWave, I’ve asked the production to provide me a LightWave 3D licensed copy. In RAI, other 3D software such as Softimage or Alias Power Animator (the actual Maya) were used. I worked for the most important science popularization TV programs in Italy. In 1998, after a competitive examination, I was employed in the Computer Graphic and Special Effects Department of RAI, the Italian television, as 3D generalist and compositor. I started to work for some local TVs, producing computer animations and info-graphics, as well as for some video games company, producing character animations and environments. I can't explain exactly why, but I felt immediately comfortable with the LightWave 3D interface. In 1994, I bought my first copy of Lightwave 3D, it was version 4.0 at that time. Then I started playing with the first version of 3D Studio, but, shortly after, a friend of mine showed me Lightwave3D on the Amiga computer and It was love at first sight! I used it to translate some complex geometric equations, that I was studying at the university, and to visualize them in a 3D space. At that time, I got a simple ray-tracing software without interface, named QRT (Quick Ray Tracer), so I had to write code to view 3D objects on the screen. My interest for 3D computer graphic began in early '90, when I was a student of physics at the University of Rome "La Sapienza". For the past 20 years, I’ve expressed my creativity through digital reconstructions, mainly for archeological, historical and scientific topics. I’m from Rome and I’m actually living in Menorca, the wildest among the Balearic Islands (Spain), which fueled my passion for history and archeology. Through this interview, he shares his vision and explains how LightWave became his tool of choice to speed up his workflow. TV channel History or the Italy's national public broadcasting company Rai, Carlo has become a master in doing digital reconstructions for archeological, historical and scientific projects. Working for the biggest TV channels as the U.S. For Carlo Cestra-a 3D CG Animator living in Menorca, Balearic Islands-CG was his passion long before it was his job.
