about the project
I’ve been lucky enough to spend time in programs such as Lightwave, Maya, 3DS Max, and Blender. Because the 3D realm is just a hobby for me, I choose to use Blender because it’s free and has an amazingly supportive community. Below is a selection of 3D projects I’ve worked on over the years.
