I am Kylie Alexander, a 3d character development artist, currently completing my final year at The Animation School in Johannesburg. I am specialising as a Character TD focused on character sculpting, retopology, texturing, grooming, rigging as well as simulation setup. My software skills include; Zbrush, Maya, Substance Painter, Photoshop, basic proficiency in Marvelous designer, Xgen, yeti, and unreal engine. I have a strong understanding of colour theory, human and canine anatomy. I am able to concept aesthetic original characters in 2D and translate them into 3D models with finished textures, cloth, and hair. I am proficient in rigging in Maya with the native Maya tools or with Mgear as well as saving poses for the animators using Studio Library. I have a growing knowledge in mel and python scripting for automating tasks. For my third-year short film 'Surge' I was the production manager, supervising a smooth transition from each artist's schedule and given task. I assisted the team with issues by creating detailed plans to ensure effective schedules as well as daily scrums to ensure clear communication. These schedules provided a good overview of the teams overall priorities. My general skills includes; excellent communication, attention to detail, imagination and creativity, excellent IT skills, ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines as well as work as part of a team.
