@ART3DART

With an avid passion for 3D modeling and animation, I've honed my skills over the years to become an expert with apps you require: Blender, 3ds Max, Maya, Solidworks, Sketchup, and Autodesk. Additionally, I have profound knowledge in using Unreal Engine (versions 5.2 - 5.4) animating systems like Animation Blueprints, Retarget Manager, Control Rig and Sequencer among others. In terms of compatibility with the role, I've clocked over 5 years in dealing with animations specifically in Unreal Engine, so tweaking retargeting aligned with your versioning requirements, fixing minor glitches and ensuring optimized workflow compatibility are familiar territories for me. Alongside my technical capabilities, I appreciate the value of teamwork- for cohesive integration of animations into your project as well as ensuring they align with your specific requirements. Lastly but most crucially; creativity isn't just a word to me. It's a foundation that should be woven into each design unveiled. From my extensive experience, I'll bring forth not only technical acuity but also innovation to your animation pipeline. Allow me the chance to transform your visionary projects into unparalleled realities!
