Hi, my name is Daniel. I am a physician but also a true allrounder. I made my first 3d model when I was just 12 and created my first simple 3d game at the age of 13! In the following 20 years I worked with plenty 3d and 2d software and game engines. The past 10 years I worked as a freelancer and made 3d artwork for universities, other game designers and companies using Modo. I am a self learner, using online video course websites like Udemy.
I also am a composer and sound designer. See my big course on synthesizers (Serum, Harmor, Synthmaster) and become one yourself!
Finally I also do a lot of illustration work. My favourite software for vector artwork is Affinity Designer. Check out my course!
