Discover the Super Sets of Tim Arnot (TangoAlpha)
Join us for an interactive walkthrough of sets designed by Tim Arnot, a DAZ 3D published artist known by his call sign, TangoAlpha. Tim is an avid aviation enthusiast and private pilot since 2005, Tim’s passion for flight simulations sparked his initial foray into digital design, beginning with scenery creation for flight simulators using GMax.

His work spans from dynamic vehicle designs, like the Enzo Vision Formula and the Mercury Coupe, to expansive environments such as Medieval Hall and Gardens, the Country Ford, the Old Railway Cutting and Gate 43.

About the presenter : Dartanbeck
Dartanbeck began his Digital Art journey by painting game tiles for tabletop fantasy games. He then became a texture artist for 3d game characters for a world-wide gaming community from which he has received several Hall of Fame awards. This immediately sparked his desire to create digital animations in the form of movies or shorts and has been dedicated to that pursuit ever since.
Now as a Daz 3d published artist, he has released several environment kits for Carrara software – specifically designed with animated movie makers in mind, plus released two character animation packs.
Dartanbeck is currently animating using Daz Studio and Carrara software and is having a lot of fun and success with it. Throughout his animation projects, he loves to share his experiences to help others to succeed as well.
His animation workflow includes Daz Studio with a collection of add-on plugins, Carrara 8.5 Pro, PD Howler, Affinity Photo, DaVinci Resolve, HitFilm and Magix MusicMaker Premium.
Dartanbeck lives in a small fishing city in Wisconsin and loves the changing seasons and has always been at home in the wilderness. He has spent his career chiseling custom stonework, designing and building cliff extensions, waterfalls, ponds, walls, patios… even custom outdoor furniture made of stone. He is also a performing musician.
