I first used Lightwave when I was designing sets and Props on Matrix (the first one and the most understandable). ![]() I applied 3D CAD to my set design process to enable the Directors the freedom to make their changes prior to illustration. My start in CG was based on necessity as many of the architectural models were simply too difficult to sketch from scratch. This was in the glory days when everything was new and amazing. My first real 3D work was building set designs and architectural models for illustrating over. I think Autocad was in release 1.2 or something – 28 years ago. I got into the 3D world at the very beginning. How did you get involved in CG and when was it? Geeky I know but any hand-built machine is cool. I have a library of books about aircraft (mostly pre 1950), Industrial machinery and entertainment equipment, like Automatons and barrel organs. I physically work in Sydney and Los Angeles but am contracted from all over the world. I am a Film and TV Production Designer and as an additional outlet, Architectural Concept Designer. What do you do professionally and where do you work? ![]() Also, we talk about the importance of having a reliable render farm service and an approachable team behind it, and, last but not least, the less apparent benefits of GarageFarm.NET’s staff personal tastes in underwear. In this case study, we’ll learn about Phil’s background, his thoughts on the nature of concept design for films, and how CG plays a role in his process. His experience and well rounded skill set put him at a calibre difficult to reach, and be it a drawing, scaled model or CG, his outputs are consistently remarkable. His work consists of hand drawn sketches, physical models and of course, 3d renders. Having conceptualized various designs for productions like The Matrix, Star Wars and Pitch Black, it’s safe to say that Phil Shearer has made a significant mark in the industry. With the new Lightwave plugins the process has become a totally excellent experience – no bull. I consider the GarageFarm.NET team an integral – if not vital – component of my work pipeline and couldn’t work without them.
