Photography and 3D Graphics
by Stefan Leng
Quinlor.de is the personal Homepage of Stefan Leng.
I am an amateur photographer and 3D modeler and build this page to share some of my photos, renders and models.
My main interest in photography is nature photography. I am an active photographer since 20 years. Today, most of my pictures are taken on holiday travels, because due to other interests and my job in software development, I find little time for it otherwise.
I am relative new to 3D art. I started to use Poser sometimes in 2002 and started modeling about one year later. I tried a lot demo versions of modeling applications, but most of the time it was more fighting the interface than getting any work done. Finally, I found Wings3D, an open source application inspired by Mirai, that I found very well suited to me.
I am a longtime player of fantasy and roleplaying games (RPG). Much of the inspiration for my 3D work comes from this hobby. In fact, my main motivation for starting with Poser was to create illustrations of my RPG characters.
Since I started to use Poser, I have downloaded hundreds of free models, textures and other content. Almost anything I know about computer graphics, I have learned from online tutorials and forums. The tutorials and downloads on this site are my attempt to give something back to the community that has given me so much.
Some personal data: I am 37 year old and live with my wife in Tübingen, a small university town in south west Germany. I came there to study biology and did my doctoral thesis at the Max Plank Institute for biological Cybernetics about some structures in the brain of flies. Since then, I have switched fields and now work as a software developer and product manager for a company that makes software for asset management. Because of this job I have to be away fom home quite often, so expect some delays in my answers if you contact me.
