The Longer Version of About Me
I was born and raised in a small town in Malaysia. Both my parents were professional photographers who ran a printing shop, so I somehow inherited their artistic DNA.
As a young child, I was captivated by the world of 3D modeling, inspired by the movie Spiderman 2007. In 2008, I took it upon myself to learn 3D Studio Max, and my passion led me to enroll in The One Academy in Penang. After completing my studies, I started working as a student tutor and quickly climbed to become a Deputy Head of Department. While teaching, I also provided professional services to clients both locally and internationally. I then joined Weta FX as a Facial Modeller, also explored the beautiful country New Zealand. Not long after that I got recruited by Sony Picture Imageworks as a Facial Technical Director/Dev/Modeling & Character Modeling, moved to Canada. I also serve as a consultant for Fortiche, the acclaimed animation studio behind Arcane.
I'm proficient in various software like Maya, Zbrush, and Arnold, but I also possess knowledge in python scripting, cinematography, editing, and color theories. I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and constantly learn through experimentation.
My passion for CG artistry has become an all-consuming obsession, and I couldn't be happier. In my free time, I indulge in my love for travel, calling anywhere in the world home. With each step I take on this journey, I grow more confident and proud of the person I have become.
