Hi, I’m Maxwell Smith. I’m a Ringling College of Art and Design graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Computer Animation. I love building animated features and collaborating with teams to turn ideas into engaging visuals, from concept to final delivery. I thrive in creative environments and enjoy tackling new challenges to bring stories to life. I excel across the full animation pipeline, integrating modeling, rigging, texturing, lighting, and editing with tools like Maya, Blender, and the Adobe Creative Cloud. I’m always eager to learn new software and techniques to push my craft further and contribute meaningfully to collaborative projects. I have also done animation work for other youtube channels where I have had to make characters, draw backgrounds and composite scenes.…Hi, I’m Maxwell Smith.
