Hello, I'm a 26-year-old aspiring 3D environment artist hailing from a small country. Over the last 3-4 years, I've been immersed in local client work primarily for financial reasons. Unfortunately, these projects don't align with my true passion in the art field, leaving me feeling somewhat stuck in my career path. It's like navigating through a fog, and I'm determined to find my way out.

That's why I've joined THU – to broaden my knowledge, shatter my limitations, and explore new horizons. I'm on the lookout for any opportunity to enhance my skills and receive advice from those who have walked a similar path. I'm here not just to clear the fog but to break the box that I find myself in.

I come from a third-world country where the 3D industry isn't as developed. Consequently, I had to take on the role of my own art director for client projects. While I lead a small team of seven, it's not because I believe I'm exceptionally talented or want to stand out. It's simply because I have more experience as a huge 3D generalist than the rest of the team. However, I acknowledge that experience alone isn't sufficient. I aspire to level up and become the 3D art leader (art director) that my team truly deserves. In my own perspective, I'm still far from being that person.

Regarding my technical skills, I possess a strong understanding of the VFX pipeline, PBR texture, shading, and optimizing models and scenes. My expertise extends to good UV knowledge, and I've honed my 3D garment skills, creating character clothes garments with production-level standards. My proficiency lies in Maya, Substance Suite, Zbrush, and Redshift. While I've previously worked on ray-traced renders, I'm currently delving into game production workflows and software to broaden my skill set. Besides 3D, I have knowledge in animation, compositing, and graphic design.

For a more in-depth look at my abilities, I encourage you to check out my ArtStation profile, which represents my best work. Additionally, I've included my personal reel below, most of which are solo projects except for those indicated with a lower third description. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me!
