Roobi - the virtual tuner




Robi has a hobby. It's called virtual tuning. I don't know much about cars (three pedals, steering wheel, gear lever... what else?... ah, rear-view mirror - for checking make-up ;)) but what he does with photos of cars is rather art. He is as much passionate about virtual tuning that I am about foreign languages ... but he's much more known in his hobby than I am in mine. :)
I'm a biased mother, of course, but he's really proved his talent by winning several awards on competitions. One of his designs was built in reality for the American SEMA show in 2007. It wasn't he, but the American car-tuner who won laurels for it, of course, but Robi was yet overjoyed. His dream had been to have his design built in reality.
We have always encouraged him in this activity, which he started four years ago and we are very proud of him as he had learnt everything by himself about how to do this, how to use Photoshop, how to find forums to make his works public ...etc.
What he really would like is to make a living from it in the future. Well, we'll see...
This year he's taking his school leaving exams in May and then he's going to major in industrial design at Technical University of Budapest from next September.
Those, who are intrested in more his works, can find them here:
