Alias recognizing new Maya Masters (http://www.alias.com/glb/eng/press/press_release_details.jsp;jsessionid=W5WC0WPURYHQXQCLCWSCM44AJMK0KJVC?itemId=3100004).


Steven Stahlberg was the first CG artist in the world to have a virtual character sponsored by Elite, a major modeling agency. The character was presented to the world in a press conference in 1999 and later appeared on ABC and BBC, as well as in dozens of newspapers, including The New York Times, The Financial Times, and The Wall Street Journal. Steven is now a partner in Optidigit. He has also worked on projects for Disney®, ElectronicArts® and an animated feature about Anne Frank.



Congratulations Steven, well deserved recognition :thumbsup:

About damn time too! He's one hardworking mofo and one of the nicest guys in CG.

I sometimes see people turning their noses up at Steven's work, saying that high-quality character work is a dime-a-dozen these days, but these people are forgetting the fact that Steven was doing it many years before any of the current guys, and he really set the bar and inspired a whole new generation of young CG artists. It is natural that young guns oozing with talent will come up and surpass the established masters--as we've witnessed for the last few years, but that doesn't diminish the accomplishments of the established masters--they were the ones leading the charge and shaping the industry.

And anyway, that Stahlberg old horse's got quite a few kicks left in him yet, so watch out! :D
