Welcome to My Blog

  Hi, and thanks for stopping by. This blog is where I share the notes, insights, and lessons I have learned over the years working as a 3D artist in the VFX and animation industry. I have collected pages of workflow tips, problem-solving methods, and practical techniques that helped me grow. Now, I am organizing and sharing them here to support aspiring artists on their journey into the field. This blog won't focus on the newest automated pipelines. Instead, it will give you a strong foundation in the traditional methods that still play a valuable role in production. Whether you are aiming to land your first studio job or build a freelance setup from home, you will find focused, easy-to-follow pages covering tools like Maya, Houdini, Substance, Arnold, and more. Once the blog is live, I will also launch a YouTube/Discord channel where we can work through projects together in real time. Let’s get started. — Vitaliy
