About artist | nimegold

I have 20 years of experience in 3D, with a multifaceted skill set spanning modeling, texturing, shader look development, and fur.
Highly proficient across all stages of the 3D pipeline, I excel in both technical precision and creative problem-solving. My Master of Fine Arts in painting adds a unique artistic dimension to my work, enabling me to merge fine art sensibilities with advanced technical workflows.
I am deeply focused on expanding my expertise in team building and management, with a passion for fostering growth and collaboration in creative teams.

My goal is to lead and mentor teams, ensuring not only project success but also personal development for all team members. I am excited about future opportunities to expand teams and drive innovative, high-quality work.
