January 2006 editorial
Jacques
Defontaine
Hi Jacques can you tell us a bit about your-
self?
My name is Jacques Defontaine, I live in
Belgium, a little village close to Brussels. I’ve
been working in the CG industry for about 10
years and I’m self-taught. I actually studied
electronics, computer analyst and foreign lan-
guages. I couldn’t finish all of them as I tend to
get easily bored if I’m not passionate by what
I’m doing.
What made you go down the 3D route?
I’ve always been interested in Arts. When
I was a kid, I used to draw a lot, trying to
reproduce famous singers, actors or actress
for my (girl) friends at school. When I got my
first computer, a friend of mine told me about
Lightwave, I bought it and from that day on,
I knew it was what I’d do for the rest of my
live. 6 months later, Casterman publishing
was looking for artists for an ambitious game
project, The Amerzone (by Benoit Sokal). It
was my first experience, it was great and we
had a lot of fun.
You became freelance in 2004, but what made
you decide to do this than work full time for just
one company?
I think, it’s mainly because I like working on my
own… being alone without a boss standing in
my back and telling me what to do. I also want-
ed to work on different projects and being able

to choose these projects. I couldn’t really do it
at the beginning though. Another big reason is
that I can now mostly work from home… I hate
getting stuck in the traffic twice a day. It used
to taking me 2 hours per day to go to work.
If you do the math, that’s about 40 hours per
month… That’s 1 weeks work that you spend
in your car and I hate losing my time.
Besides, when you have enough jobs, you can
also make quite a bit of money, while on the
other hand, you can beg your boss for years,
just to get a little pay rise.
Being freelance do you aim to get a mixture of
work or do you just aim for one specific area?
I enjoy working in different areas but I think
my favourite would be working on movies.The
problem is, Belgium is a very small country
and it’s quite rare that we have the opportunity
to work on such projects. Besides, I’m married
