		EYAL SHMUEL (zion3d) Location: Israel Born in Israel in 1971, graduated as an Architect from the Architecture School of Tel-Aviv (Israel). Moved to the Netherlands in 1997, worked in an architecture office in Amsterdam, and for the past 3 years I have been working in an Architectural presentation office in Amsterdam (CIIID).
		TIM NELSON (Tim Nelson) Location: USA Introduced to the world of 3D while attending an Autocad modeling class, Tim Nelson has been passionate about rendering ever since.  His early professional experience included an apprenticeship in cabinetmaking in which his careful attention to detail carried over to his drafting work and later his rendering work.  Not formally trained in the art of rendering, Tim has learned everything he knows through job experience, trial & error, and advice from friends and colleagues at the cgarchitect.com forums.  Based in Phoenix Arizona, Tim started his one-man rendering business, Urban Illustration Inc., in late 2003 and continually seeks new methods and technologies to improve the quality of his work and provide his clients with the very best.

		NICHOLAS MOSHENKO (moshenko) Location: Canada I studied Architecture at the University of Waterloo (Canada) before working with a small visualization firm in 1997. I founded DesignStor.com - a design visualization studio in Toronto, Canada - in 2000. Currently, we work with prominent Canadian architects, developers and property owners on a wide range of projects, and are expanding our client base into other regions. When I'm not working on a deadline or playing with my 11 month old daughter, I can be found on some local singletrack on my mountain bike or in the boulder cave at my climbing gym.
