| Professional Summary |
| I am a professional 3d Artist that has working experience in films and games. I studied both 3d and Traditional Art At Seneca College. As a 3d Artist, I always look for new ways to improve my efficiency and quality in modeling and texturing. On the technical side, I am proficient in using both Maya and 3dsmax to create production quality models. For texturing, I have extensive knowledge of Photoshop to create all the necessary maps for the models whether it is hard surface or organic objects. For adding high poly detail, I am familiar with sculpting and retopping in Zbrush for creating realistic surface details. I adapt quicky to new software and pipelines. |
