Hi, I'm Toprak Bekiroglu, a passionate 3D artist currently studying Computer Animation at Ringling College of Art and Design. I've had the incredible opportunity to intern at Walt Disney Animation Studios, where I gained hands-on experience in modeling, texturing, grooming, and animating assets for production using proprietary tools. My work spans creating full shots and environmental elements, and I love collaborating with a team to bring stories to life through animation and visual development. Aside from my internship, I have worked on various projects at school, including producing a 3-minute short film and designing characters and environments that convey emotion and storytelling. I also enjoy wearing multiple hats, including modeling, texturing, lighting, and compositing scenes. I’m also fluent in Turkish and English!
