Who Am I?

Hello everyone! I'm Tomáš and I come from Slovakia. I'm 24 years old gamer (I play Dota approx 15 years...oh my god), 9Gager and I love hot girls in cosplay. LOL...but the most important thing about me is that I'm a digital 3D Artist or CGI Artist and this is the reason why I'm here. ![im-a-simple-man-i-see-cosplay-link-i-click-on-it.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNwF9qzyV83Z4vGibUofKhcuCN31WJmdMdroamSxskA19/im-a-simple-man-i-see-cosplay-link-i-click-on-it.jpg) * * * * My passion for this specific kind of art (if I can call it that way) started when I was 16-17 years old. I studied mechatronics and we learned in 3D software Solid Edge. During classes we created some shafts, spindles and many other things which are for me absolutely uninteresting. One day I told myself I can make something more interesting. So I downloaded 3ds Max, opened YouTube tutorials and the fun started. My first model was car - Mustang GT. It's one of my favorites. ![19113918_762441250604201_1670834398410272865_n.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWDcLJCcupHtTRPik97Z4cH1m2drsyH3Qzeebgm6brxVJ/19113918_762441250604201_1670834398410272865_n.jpg) *My first 3D model* * * * * Now I know the mesh and render of this model was really bad, but I remember I was proud of myself. At that time I didn't know why I wanted be get better and better modeler. I didn't think about it. It was only about boring school and interesting modeling at home. When I was approx 18 years old I had more hobbies. I played video games and I was really dedicated for physics. I didn't saw my professional future in 3D modeling. I saw my future in engineering. I wanted to be helpful for society. Make something great like electrical cars, save the earth, be a teacher, itself be an inspiration for others but my destiny was different. When I was baccalaureate my passion for physics and engineering becomes weaker and weaker. The school slowly but surely destroyed all passion for this, but little fragments are still in my heart. I realize e.g. theory of relativity or electromagnetism are so beautiful. They're description of reality itself and that was the point when I realized why I liked making 3D models and why I liked physics. The Art is answer. When I making 3D models I also transform the our world to digital world with different laws. Maybe this is what gives me surplus value. ![BeFunky Collage.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmezrsL9HgUK2Su79wLnEJuAhXZGFpcs6EFwayhLvps1Bm/BeFunky%20Collage.jpg) *My work* * * * * A few months ago I graduated in power electronics. I knew I don't want to work like engineer so I did my portfolio on [ArtStation](https://www.artstation.com/firen) and started looking for job in game industry. I wanted and still want to utilize my experiences from playing video games. My first work was in game industry in Czech republic like 3D modeler.

So...Why Am I here?

Now I'm freelancer. I make 3D models (+ UV mapping, texturing, retopology...) for Virtual Reality (VR) application and development of video game which I make alone. I'm also streamer on twitch but I stream in my native language. I'm here because I want to show you how I started making the video game, how I organize my time spent by developing, how I make models, textures, rigging etc. You can follow me for more content. I post some photos or videos on my [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/tomas_buran_3d/) too. ![12039481_482950611886601_5270181842880905681_n.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYj7RTiDAc1oLd7FyDYeRyMCJCk1FHaVxq5FkF1gR3NNR/12039481_482950611886601_5270181842880905681_n.jpg) *Hello! It's me!* * * * *
