Presenter : Martin Gehrke

Martin (also known as Charlie) has a University degree as a psychologist and achieved further university studies in Business Management and Computer Sciences. Since the age of 15 he has been a pilot and later as a flight instructor. After finishing university, he worked as an expert consultant for a series of airline pilots and astronauts and also specialised in aircraft accident investigation.

In 2007 he decided together with his wife to work and live in Africa. In DR Congo, in the middle of the real jungle and in civil war areas, he re-organized a project for the re-integration of former child soldiers, helping more than 2,300 children and teens. Later, in Uganda, Martin worked for two years as a consultant to the head of the national umbrella organisation for all rural co-operatives, implementing systems for project monitoring and evaluation.

Martin has been doing traditional painting and drawing since a young age. In 2002 he discovered, together with his two sons, the magic of Digital Arts and has been using Poser, Bryce,  Carrara, Hexagon, DAZ-Studio, Lightwave, UV-Mapper Pro, UV-Layout and Paintshop. After returning from Africa three years ago, he decided to work as a content creator under the brand ‘Bytefactory3D’, working with family and friends who are also digital or traditional artists.

For three years now Martin also teaches (part time) ‘Digital Arts’ at a local school, using DAZ-Studio to introduce students to this amazing subject!

Thanks for your interest. We're recording some supplementary material this Saturday in a second (bonus) webinar for this event and then we'll create tutorial product for the DAZ store shortly afterwards.

What I would def be interested in is a Subnstance Painter tutorial using Genesis from preparing the figure for painting to finished and setting up the files in DAZ Studio / Poser.  I don't work with hard surfaces much so hoping at some point you guys tackle that.  Thank you!
