About

Hi, I’m Ryan Newton, a multidisciplinary artist and 3D animator based in Massachusetts. I earned a BFA in Animation & Interactive Media from UMass Lowell and am advancing a certificate in 3D character animation with AnimSchool. I specialize in 3D modeling, character rigging, and bringing 2D concepts into 3D assets for games, exhibitions and shows.

I’ve interned as a 2D Puppet Rigger at Animation Libation Studio and worked with Yuko Oda as an Assistant 3D Modeler, translating paintings into resin-printed sculptures and coordinating installations. I enjoy collaborative pipelines that blend traditional art with software such as Maya, ZBrush, Unity, and the adobe suite.
