I'm a Technical Artist with a deep passion for game dev and teaching, with experience in indie freelance and AAA, and have been paying my bills with it for about 12 years or so now. My foundational skillet is in 3d modeling, but these days I spend most of my time as a Technical Artist.

I've always wanted to mentor and teach the craft of 3d modeling for games to someone starting off in their journey, and to help them overcome the same hurdles that I myself had to, but without anyone to guide me.

I have experience in classroom teaching, and used to teach 3d at a diploma level.

No catch, no fee, no trick. Just looking to help an artist find their footing. I am in the AU timezone.

If you're looking for someone to learn from feel free to either reply or dm me I guess, I don't know what the reddit norm is.

Blender specificly, I should specify.

I started the project about a year ago, then took a six-month break, and have been working on it almost every evening for the last few months. I’ve been tweaking it constantly. It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough for me. Sculpted in ZBrush and rendered in Maya using Arnold. Hair created with XGen Interactive. Textured in Substance. I didn’t use any photo textures; I created all the pores and skin textures by hand.

Hello, I’d like to model 2D images in 3D with a low level of realism, like in this image. I don’t know anything about 3D and I'd take any advice– I’ve only just installed Blender. Do you know if there’s an easy way to do this? Or can you recommend any tutorials? (The ones I’ve found produce results that are too high-quality; I want something really rubbish.)

I came across the DepthAnything website, but it doesn’t seem to be working…

Thanks for your help!
