Hi everyone, my name is Natiq Aghayev, also known as "Defonten" on the net. Iโ€™m art leading a team of 3D artists at Keen Software House in Prague, a Czech company developing the globally renowned PC game Space Engineers โ€” a game about building, exploration and survival in Space powered by the VRAGE engine. I drink a lot of black coffee, and have hobbies too: 3D graphics and VFX :)

What I love about AI is that it works exactly the way our brain generates Dreams for us - combining unimaginable. This is the idea I had for some time but never had time to do in 3D - an old buildings made entirely out of Soviet era vintage furniture. As a Soviet era kid - man I've seen a lot of these.. #defontenAI #AIart #scifiart
