Yes

There was a discussion on Byrne's 3D work back in the days of the 3dCC mailing list.

I don't know about the rest of you but I was a tad bit offended by his remark about people "Chroming" the Silver Surfer! As if HIS mind's eye view of the Silver Surfer were the only truely viable option for that hero! :roll:

he did work on the book and knows/knew the creators. . i guess he can express and artistic opinion with some validity. . .afterall he does get paid for making funny books.

Okay I've known JB used Strata for a couple of years now. I even checked out his gallery that Strata show cased a while back, but what really blew me away in that article was that John Byrne uses Poser!

I about fell out of my chair when I read that. I don't care if he uses it professionally or not just the fact that someone at his level of artistic talent will use it as part of his tool set shows that it isn't about the program it's what you do with it.

Ok, being a huge fan of Byrne for many years (Since Man of Steel), I wonder if he is a Member of Animotions yet?

Wild, I wouldn't have guessed he was a Poser Person. He's alwasy been my favorite CB Artist, His work on The X-Men is what got me hooked on his style an the book. I can see how Poser would helpout an artist with Drawing the Human Figure. The Hardest Part of Drawing (For me at least) is comming up with things off the top of my head without a visual referance. But I guess that comes from learning to draw by Useing Comic Books wich I heard was a bad way to learn?. What blew me away was learning Hickman an Wies (Dragonlance fame) also use Poser an a few other Prgs to create there characters.

Also, I'm told through a credible source Byrne also animated the laser blasts in "The Empire Strikes Back." He's got quite a portfolio of work. His work on the early Alpha Flight comic is still some of my favorite.

When I wisted his house a decade ago he was using Strata to make Galactus.

I wonder is he's Lurking. :crazyeyes:

I've always enjoyed his SlushFactory column. And yeah, I remember reading some of those discussions on the 3DCC mailing list, Jim.
