Summary

Greetings! I am Nicolai, once a professional nurse (for almost 4 years), who transitioned to become a 3D artist. I am generally self taught, and have been enjoying the world of computer graphics since childhood.

Presently, I am now a professional 3D artist who has a year of experience in AAA games and 2 years in the XR industry (Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality). During my spare time, I strive to specialize in 3D hard surface modeling/PBR texturing. I also study basic Python scripting for technical arts.
