Description
In this episode, I had the biggest opportunity to chat to Rolf Schneider, owner of Science-D-Visions,  about how he Created 3DEqualizer For The VFX Industry. Looking back at the evolving digital scene in the 80's and 90's, we discuss working on the Commodore 64 and Amiga, to creating the first version of 3DEqualizer in 1996, to MPC and ILM purchasing their first licenses in 1996 and '97. We do a deep dive about the whole journey and how it all happened. An episode not to be missed! As always, if you liked this episode, please like, comment, subscribe and share!
