Knowledge

3D

From modelling, texturing and shading to lighting, rendering and fluid dynamics simulations. My years of experience in 3D content creation can handle any project thrown my way with speed and quality.

With a deep understanding of animation principles and a keen eye for motion, I’m able to provide 3D and 2D animation. From full character animation to title and product animation, I’ve done it all.

I’ve completed countless commercials and promos with footage requiring keying, compositing, effects, removals, colour grading, particles and simulations. I also provide VFX supervision and assistance on set and in pre-production meetings.

Games

As a senior, I have sucessfully finished several published games working for my previous employer. Whether it be character modelling, animation or logo motion graphics, my game development experience covers all the bases both in 2D and 3D.

Programming

Started to study programming, and I'm currently applying my knowledge in a small Unity game project. My plan is to extend this knowledge as much as I can, and soon to start programming in Unity as main carrier orientation.
