Work Experience

3D Designer at Torpedo group
March 1, 2017 - January 1, 2025
In my previous role as a Senior 3D Designer, I was an integral part of a larger video production team, solely responsible for all aspects of 3D production, including modelling, texturing, rendering, and animation. I have primarily produced artwork for clients such as Autodesk, Adobe, Panasonic, Epson and Owen Mumford. Additionally, I have designed exhibition and display stands for companies like Petronas. My work spans a wide range, from high-resolution 20K billboard renders to intricate animations and immersive 360 experiences. My tasks included producing cartoon characters and storyboarding. This work encompassed designing and constructing fully rigged, model led, and textured characters, ready for animation. For the past 20 years, my primary 3D software for modelling, FX, and animation has been Autodesk Maya, complemented by V-Ray 7 for material creation and final rendering. I utilise Adobe Substance Painter for texture creation and RizomUV for UV unwrapping, with final composition and export handled in Adobe After Effects or Davinci Resolve. Furthermore, I have experience with 3DVista for authoring 360 interactive tours and interactive 3D product models, which can include animated elements for enhanced engagement.
