Hi, I’m Daniel Otop, a 3D artist and creative director specializing in product visualization and industrial/technical CGI. With 6+ years of experience, I help manufacturers and product brands turn CAD data, technical references, and concepts into clear, commercially effective visuals—product videos, photorealistic rendering, and assembly or exploded-view animations that make complex mechanisms easy to understand. I’m the founder and lead artist of Idanis3D Studio, where I own the end-to-end production workflow: modeling, materials, lighting, animation, rendering, compositing, and post-production. I also use hybrid AI-assisted tools for concept development and content support, while keeping strong human creative direction and quality control so every final deliverable is accurate, polished, and ready for advertising, e-commerce, and technical communication.…
