Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
Hello! My name is Ian Paludo, I am a 3d artist born in Chapeco but I was raised in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. I currently live in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and I have 6 years of experience in the area but I decided to change my professional career to something I always liked, which is computer graphics and I started to learn 3D in September 2017.
I first realised that I wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry when I was in high school at the age of 14. I have always been a movie fanatic and I was always super fascinated by the magic behind the Visual Effects. Since I was drawn to the digital magic, I would experiment with 3D modeling software and find ways to mimic inspirational art pieces. I love the adrenaline the results give me.
I start to realize that I wanted to work in creative media when I start to study at VanArts. At first, I was just curious about how people create video games and starting to understand the basics of what are the roles and what people can create. I started to feel fun creating a video game and I want to support or help create video games.
I am technically a graduate in Chemistry and art was something I did during my free time. I have been interested in drawing anime and cartoon characters since I don't know when. Being a Disney/Pixar and Harry Potter enthusiast, I had always been in awe when watching their movies, thinking about how they made these beautiful characters and creatures, how they made them move and what makes them look so magical and real. That curiosity led me to this industry today.
I did 3 years in computer engineering and wasnt feeling hat I wanted to pursue so I started to explore and me being a Practical guy, I Started learning Animation and VFX back in India. Later I found out that I have a good scope in Gaming in Canada and me being a gaming Enthusiast...I am learning Gmae Art at Van Arts
