As long as i can remember i am fascinated by games and movies. After school i didnt really know what to do until i discovered that you can study 3D. Since then i wanted to be a part of the entertainment industry. Now, after graduating from the PIXL VISN media arts academy, I am looking for a job.

I love everything around Art, so my dream was to work as an artist. The creative media industry is perfect for me and I love it.

A few years ago, I entered the creative industries, studying graphic design. Integrating CG into projects, I found a passion at the intersection of graphic design and 3D. Focusing on motion design during university, I explored CG in films and its behind-the-scenes magic. Working 1.5 years in a small studio as a 3D generalist I solidified my commitment. Now, aiming to enter the industry, I've returned to school to deepen knowledge and refine my focus.

Hey there, I’m Noah Kolb. Ever since I was immersed in the worlds of video games and movies, I’ve been captivated by the sheer magic that brings these digital and cinematic wonders to life. It was at Gamescom 2018 where my fascination took a leap. Engaging with VFX students opened my eyes to the immense potential within the industry—realizing I could be a part of creating the very games and series that I loved.

I grew up playing with Software like Photoshop, Unity and Blender. This passion kept on going and ultimately led to me chasing my dream of becoming a VFX Artist. Right now i am roughly in the middle of my Education at PIXL VISN Media Arts Academy, where i found my passion in Lighting / Look Dev and creating realistic Environments.

I feel like I've always known that my career would end up going in a creative direction. I've been painting since I was a kid and as I got older my interest in gaming made me question how games are made. Through that I got involved in the game industry. Starting my education at PixlVisn six month ago helped me discover my interest in the film industry as well.

My love for the 3D world was ignited when I tried to create my own little games in the Crytek SDK at the age of approximately 15 which was alot of fun and alot of frustration because I didn't understand a thing. While discovering the possibilities I got so excited that I kept going towards the goal of attending a school. At Pixl Visn I learned production approved techniques and fell in love even more with modeling, texturing and lookdev.

In 2016 , I realised that I want to become a 3D animator as I visited PixlVisn media arts academy on the Gamescom in Cologne.

Since kindergarten, I have liked to scribble and started to draw in my free time a the age of 16, where I posted my works on Instagram. At the age of 18, I did my voluntary ecological year at naheTV where I created television reports. I get into pre-and post production, but I preferred the final edit and wanted to create more. I finally discovered 3D Animation. My first contact with Maya was at the workshop at PixlVisn in Cologne. My 3D journey began.

I have always been in love with art since I was a child - but it wasn't until seventh grade, when I got into video games, that I decided I wanted to work in the creative industry. Movies, games and art are still my passions, which is why I chose to become a 3D artist and studied at PIXL VISN, where I specialized in modeling, texturing and lighting.

I was very young when I wanted to work for Disney not knowing what they did. I always loved there movies and started to create my own characters and little stories. I always was a creative person since kindergarten and it was more like a happy coincidence that I found out that I can become a 3D Artist It was love at first sight. I was fascinated by the workflow and wanted to do the same so I started studying VFX.

This was in my childhood as i watched an animated movie. I was complete impressed and want to do the same if i am older.

As a small child I was extremely fascinated by animation. I've been drawing all my life, so when I finally started college I was eager to pursue 2D Animation, it was an easy choice since this is what I had been passionate about from an early age on. After graduation I decided to further pursue college and started my second education for the 3D/CGI field!

I am a 2D/3D Character & Environment and Prop Artist from Germany. I was raised in a rural small town. Inspired by the natural enviroment around me quickly found my affection for creative work.

I first realized that I wanted to work in this industry at the age of 3. When I sneaked out of my room in the early mornings of every weekend to watch my Disney VHS tapes. Before I even knew literally anything about how movies were made, I fell deeply in love with them. And whatever happens in my life, I seem to always come back to that.

With a background in illustration I was always passionate about character design, drawing and anatomy studies

Fascinated by the moving picture my whole life I developed a ongoing passion and strong motivation to work in that field professionaly. During my studies, I got into the fantastic world of texturing and decided to specialize in this discipline. The attention to detail and the story behind every single Asset is what exites me the most. Last year I graduated from the PIXL VISN media arts academy after 18 months of VFX education.

Since I was a little kid, I got inspired by all the amazing movies, which Disney, DreamWorks, and other great companies created. Creativity was always my passion. I still love to read fantasy stories, draw what is on my mind and create my own little storyboards. It was always a dream of mine to work on such amazing masterpieces, that touch people. Now that I am finished with my education at PIXL-VISN Academy of Art and Media, I got one step closer to my dream job.

After I was done with high school I started working as a technical product designer at a mechanical engineering company for 5 years. Actually I planned to go back to a school for engineering machines, but before that I heard luckily about PIXL VISN media-arts -academy. 15 month later I am a graduate with an A level diploma for visual arts. Currently I am working as a modeling artist at metaphore, which is doing product visualition.

Even as a child I was fascinated by movies with 3d and 2d elements. This enthusiasm has developed into a strong passion, which does not let me go until today. The passion was so strong that I decided to give up a very good job in the advertising industry and learn 3D professionally.

I've always loved creative work, especially working on short films. Movies allow you to tell a story in the way you want and when I discovered 3D Animation I realized that the possibilities of storytelling are just on a completly different level.

At the age of 13, I discovered the wonderful world of comics and mangas. This motivates me to start with drawing and I´d love it so much,that I can no longer imagine a life without it. Besides my enthusiasm for drawing, I love to watch any kind of movies since my childhood, especially animated movies (like "How to train your dragon" or "The Croods"). My passion for drawing and movies are actually the most crucial reason, I was inspired to pursue a career in 3D Animation in the first place.
