Being a better 3D Rigging Artist / Technical Artist is a goal I strive for every day.

Biography

I am a Polish immigrant living in the Great Britain for over 10 years. Thanks to supportive family and the kind people I met along the way, I was able to educate myself in a creative arts such as: movie making, motion graphics or animation. I started studying at the Cardiff and Vale College, where I attended an Interactive Media course (Illustrator, Photoshop, AfterEffects). Then, I applied to the University of South Wales in Cardiff, where I studied VFX and Motion Graphics (Nuke, Maya, Cinema 4D). I got my bachelor's degree after 3 short years. I decided to continue my education, and in 2019, I moved to Glasgow, where I finished an MSc in 3D Design for Virtual Environments. I am a highly motivated 3D Artist with focus on character rigging. I have a bachelor degree in VFX and Motion Graphics and I have a master degree in 3D Design for Virtual Environments. I am working to further develop my skills by taking online courses. Recently I have finished 3 of them: 'Master Rigging & Python Scripting in Maya'', ''Creature Rigging for Production'' ,“Animation for Games” from GNOMON. My experience includes: • creating rigs in Maya and exporting them to UE4; • making animation blueprints in UE4 for locomotion setup; • flipbook texture workflow for Maya and UE4; • writing scripts in Python for optimization of my workflow; • understanding whole pipelines from concept art to in-game implementation of an asset; I develop my technical skills, but I also understand that knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology is as important as knowledge of rig making. Therefore, I pay special attention to the analysis of human and animal movements. Moreover, I know that coding is a fundamental skill required of a technical artist / rigger, so I do my best to improve my skills in this area.
