Wolfpak Early years banner JPG

Historians and Collectors note by Matt Allen, Wolfpak Team Leader.

Below are some of our first fan art pictures, many were made in the days before the www could show pictures and most were posted to the Star Trek clubs of AOL and CSI. Most of the 1995 work was made by either me (Matt Allen) or Eric Peterson before we really started to swap meshes and ideas. Most of the 1996 work and onwards became known as the 3D Stills Collection and was posted to the net under the name of the 3D Stills Team. Pictures were posted under the name of 3D Stills as when I tried to post to CSI for the first time I wanted to have name for our work people would remeber and would be easy to spot.

By placing the name 3D Still infront of the title of each picture we uploaded we quickly found that people collected our stills and that they seemed quite popular. 3 Years latter the name Wolfpak was born and now 7 SF artists supply art and ideas into the group.

Below are a selected few of the older stills that show first views of a particular mesh or effect that we made. Its not a complete collection and is in no particular order. If you are after our lastest work then view any of the other image index's. But if your interested in seeing our early work and how our art developed over the years this may be a fun way for you to view where we started from.

Remember just left click on the small images below to view the larger picture.
