Tools & Skills

2D Tools

I use various tools for my 2D pipeline, depending on the project needs and what tools I need

Blender

I adore using Blender for my various needs: visdev, prop modelling, shader node setups, rendering cool NPR scenes, geonode setups. I am absolutely in love with this tool.

Photoshop, Procreate, Infinite painter, Krita, Clip Studio Paint, Affinity suite

3D Tools

zBrush, Nomad sculpt, Adobe substance 3D Modeller (VR), ShapeLab(VR)

I use different 3D sculpting tools depending on my needs, same as with 2D tools.

Unreal Engine 5, QuadSpinner Gaea, Marmoset Toolbag, Substance suite

Tools I use a bit less, but still enjoy. I love arranging scenes in UE5, I love generating procedural terrains through node setups in Gaea, and I do sometimes present my work through Marmoset Toolbag. As well as making textures in Substance suite.

AI tools: Comfy UI, Stability Matrix, WebUI Forge, ChatGPT, Notion AI, Claude, NotebookLM, Hugging Face portal, Manus AI

I am not very hyped about AI replacing many of my skills, but at the same time I acknowledge the necessity of knowing these tools in modern world. So I have learned advanced techniques of using these tools, and created my own pipelines. I can create unique node setups in ComfyUI, and streamline your brainstorming on a new level.
