about me

My name is Sergey Pogosyan. I'm working in cg industry since 1998. I'm a system engineer, but during studies in university I've learned about cg and 3dsmax and since then I've been working in 3d and I've had no regrets about "systems" :) But I'm happy when the project needs some script development or even gives me the idea of some automation algorithm. I'm full-time employee in architectural company and I'm doing architectural visualization. In my spare time I'm writing scripts (with maxscript), searching the ways to automate every day tasks, working on my (this) site (written in python) and learning other programs such Houdini, Nuke and so on.

In my student days I started to learn 3ds max and other cg programs, so I've gave up with the programming until I've discovered the Maxscript and Python.
