This interest to build cars started when I was putting together 1/24 scale plastic models as a kid, to later discover at my 16 years of age, that I could do the same on my computer with 3D software. I currently live in El Calafate, Argentina, where I've been working from home since I moved about 6 years ago from Buenos Aires, where I lived most of my life so far. Hi Daniel, would you like to give us a short introduction about yourself? Who is Alberto Daniel Russo?īorn in 1982, I'm a geek with a passion for mechanics, electronics and learning how things work.

The interview says it all for me, without needing to prolong your wait for what is, I can assure you, a very interesting read, thanks to the enthusiasm Daniel has put into it. Not once have I been proved wrong in this lesson so far, and again I found Daniel to be a very charming, open and friendly person. People who teach an important life lesson, because the more brilliant, talented and intelligent they are, the more humble they are, the more inclined they are to lend a hand, to share their work and their talent with others. No, it's really brilliant work done by really brilliant people. However it's not magic, it would be unfair to say it's magic, because there are no tricks of the eye or ears. These are incredibly talented people doing, whether it's 3d models, tracks, physics, sounds or whatever, stuff that to me and almost everyone else is magic. Whenever I interview these people who we usually call modders, but that I would really prefer to refer to as content creators because what they're doing is far beyond what used to be the standard and norm for the craft, I get nervous. He has also created models for third-party studios that produce premium content for Assetto Corsa, and even these are some of the best, and my all-time favourite, cars in the simulator. I have mentioned a few, but there are many that I had to omit, and I felt bad considering how good they are. The amount of 3d models he has created for free, all of the highest level and quality, is simply outstanding. We get to know the master modeller behind such creations as the Ferrari Testarossa, the Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota, the Porsche 911 (993) Turbo, the Honda S-800, the Veloce GTS-8, and many, many more (the list is astonishing).Īlberto Daniel Russo, who goes by the name "A3DR" here on RaceDepartment, is one of the most prolific content creators we are (incredibly) lucky to have in our community.
