BIO

I dropped out of nine grades and entered a higher vocational school as a welder and repairman, but already at that time I knew that I would not work as a profession because I had a great interest in game development, I started studying 3D graphics and game development from school, graduated and graduated from friends, my first LINCH game in Steam Early Access, I started developing the second game and spent a lot of money and time on it, but I could not finish the project due to the start of the war. I know and love to model weapons, equipment and levels for games, I have skills in such programs as Unity, Cinema 4D,RizomUV,Unreal Engine,Marvelous Designer,ZBrush,Substance 3D Painter,Photoshop,3ds Max.
I have a dream to make my own film and go to work in the USA. Now I am developing in a new field for me: motion design and advertising.
