Dirk Rider

To be a lead environment artist and prop creator for a game studio as well as create environments to use within virtual production.

1996 when I first watched the Warcraft 2 cinematics. I entered college in 2001, but game design and game art were not available for me to learn in my location. I made the choice to go with my other interests in technology and and IT career. I realized it again in 2020 after seeing my first model fully rendered in Blender. I've been fully committed to learn and be part of this industry since that point.
