Hi, I’m Jordan Thompson, a 3D Modeler/CG Generalist with a BFA in Visual Effects from SCAD. I specialize in turning concept designs into detailed 3D models, textures, lighting, and renders for film, games, and visualization projects. My workflow blends strong artistic training with hands-on production experience across personal and collaborative projects. I’ve worked on SCAD-based animations, Metron projects, and self-initiated renders, leveraging Maya, ZBrush, Houdini, Nuke, and the Adobe suite. My background in land surveying also informs my spatial thinking and attention to detail, helping me deliver precise, cohesive visuals from concept to final render.…Hi, I’m Jordan Thompson, a 3D Modeler/CG Generalist with a BFA in Visual Effects from SCAD.
