-- What I Can Teach You --
Lookdev & Shading (My Specialty):
- Physically-based rendering (PBR) principles and real-world material behavior
- Creating realistic materials: metals, fabrics, organic surfaces, volumetrics
- Shader network architecture and calibration techniques
- Developing shader templates and recipes for production
- Understanding what makes good textures work well in shaders
- Lighting strategies for material presentation
-- My teaching style --
I believe in learning by doing. We'll work on practical projects that build your portfolio while teaching fundamental skills. I'll show you my professional workflow, explain my decision-making process, and help you develop your own systematic approach to problem-solving.
Expect homework between sessions (optional but recommended!), clear explanations with visual examples, and honest feedback that helps you improve quickly.
-- Why learn with me? --
I don't just teach buttons and menus—I teach you to think like a professional artist. My approach focuses on understanding the "why" behind every technique, so you develop problem-solving skills that serve you throughout your projects and career.
-- Our first session is about understanding You --
- What are your goals? (Career change? Portfolio? Specific project? Pure interest?)
- What's your current skill level?
- Do you have an existing project, or should we start something new together?
Together, we'll create a learning plan tailored to your needs. You'll leave our first session with a clear roadmap and actionable next steps.
-- Who I Work Best With --
- Complete Beginners: You're curious about VFX but don't know where to start. Perfect! I'll guide you through the fundamentals with patience and clarity.
- Students & Recent Grads: You've learned the basics but want industry-ready skills and portfolio pieces that get you hired. I'll share the production techniques and problem-solving approaches that studios value.
- Hobbyists & Enthusiasts: You love 3D art and want to create amazing work, even if it's not your career. Let's make something awesome together!
