Hi, I'm Julie Kalymbet, a passionate 3D animator and visual storyteller from Kazakhstan. I specialize in character animation, expressive timing, and creating immersive visuals using Maya, Blender, and Unreal Engine. I’ve contributed to online MOBA projects and YouTube animated series for children, focusing on lively character emotion, smooth transitions, and an engaging storytelling voice. I love collaborating with teams to polish actions, run playtests to spot issues, and craft appealing characters that feel alive. I’m always exploring new techniques to make animation more enjoyable to watch and to push the boundaries of what a character can express through motion.…Hi, I'm Julie Kalymbet, a passionate 3D animator and visual storyteller from Kazakhstan.
