With this growing fascination for 3D, I decided to pursue it more seriously by enrolling in a three-year academic program in 3D animation and visualization in Trollhättan. What had started as curiosity gradually evolved into a clear educational path, where I could immerse myself fully in both the creative and technical aspects of the field. The program offered a structured environment to refine my skills, challenge my visual thinking, and collaborate with others who shared the same passion for digital storytelling.
Throughout the education, I developed a deeper understanding of modeling, animation, rendering, and visual communication, while also exploring the theoretical frameworks surrounding media and communication. The combination of artistic practice and academic reflection provided a well-rounded perspective on how visual media shapes perception and narrative. Upon completing the program, I was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in Media and Communication, an achievement that solidified my commitment to working within the world of 3D and visual design.
My first encounter with 3D graphics began during high school, when I was enthusiastically searching for tutorials on 2D effects in After Effects. At the time, my ambitions were fairly simple: I wanted to create more dynamic compositions, add some polished motion, and make my projects look just a little more impressive than before.
However, while navigating through tutorials and experimenting with different techniques, I unexpectedly stumbled into the world of 3D.What started as a straightforward attempt to enhance flat visuals gradually introduced me to concepts like depth, virtual cameras, lighting, and spatial composition. Layers were no longer confined to a single plane, and suddenly I was thinking in terms of movement through space rather than just across a screen.
