3D content creation is a playground, with different areas of expertise to explore – modeling, texturing, lighting, camera work. And I’m all in, no matter if the final product is ray-traced or real-time. Modeling’s a beast, but for those of us who love creating something from nothing, it’s pure bliss.

Coming from photography and video, I was blown away when I discovered the endless possibilities of 3D. But it was the lighting and camera angles that really hooked me. Sure, you can control those things in photography and video, but the level of control in CG is insane. It’s like having the power to shape reality itself, to create worlds that exist only in your imagination. That’s the thrill that keeps me coming back for more.
