Hi, I’m Iain Kilby, a dedicated 3D Artist based in the United Kingdom with hands-on experience across the full 3D pipeline. My strengths include 3D modelling, sculpting, rigging and animation, and I excel at turning complex concepts into polished, production-ready assets. I’m a reliable team player and a strong communicator, with a meticulous eye for detail and a practical, solution-oriented mindset. I earned an Honours Degree in 3D Art and Visualisation from Glasgow Caledonian University (2020–2022) and completed an internship with Soluis Group in Glasgow. While travel and timing prevented me from attending the internship, I value that opportunity and continuously apply the lessons learned to roles across 3D design, animation and visualization.
