Bit Of Back Ground
A small-time creator that’s focused on the enjoyment over the outcome?
Started from a family of art, grew into a dark part found them all-mighty paint-throwing devices which kept me busy. Had a kid as a kid who is my world, took him on at 2. Just me and the little dude grew up a bit. started digital drawing way back with the Intuos 3, Flipped to a Samsung 10.1 tablet with their on-screen stylus.
Loved it till It cooked.
went back to the basics for a while and then when surface pro4 hit.
well, that was it and digital drawing was the only thing for a while. next came
C.g.i which is a story in itself. but yea that brings us to now where I’m bringing my art
For You To Enjoy
I’ve been jumping chain links, Started on the dolla dim chain of WAXP which was awesome to start my learning on. Simply because of the bullrush going on. But as the bear came along I started grabbing at some of the hidden diamonds out there in the eth ethos. The nft’s that have 3d content attached. .
Now I don’t mean the pump-and-dump hype generated Gank’s
I mean the NFTs that have 3d content attached, the ones I can use to generate my own content from in a multitude of ways. To try to sell myself.
so first up on the chopping block is the dystopian st-wear shop.
is inspired and uses parts of the NFTs I Hodl on eth or come from my little art collection on Waxp

The Power Of Ai
AI, LLM’s as I prefer to call them are super powerful in their own rights. and are being applied across the 3d design application from prompt model generation and mocap creation to fully taking control of animation movements. My main focus has been on applying the use case of it within facial animation . to speed up the workflow of sync sound to facial movements
Above is an example of creating key posing of the main mouth shapes and then matching them to the sound to create the animation. Below is done by a Nivida Ai application that uses 52 blendshapes in the 3d models face to manipulate for synchronize the movement to sound

Networking
Since I’m only a man army, bolt cutting my way through the multitude of chains try’n to learn. I prefer to lurk on the social connection points provided by the NFT projects I’m a fan of and hodl.
so if you want my attention or help get yourself a Dask/Dazk or Voltz NFT and come find me in one of their discords with the user .gkid. I’m bound to help if I can.
Since I’m only a man army. I try to keep my social connection points to a minimal
find me on X(twitter) and reach out if you have an idea you want fabricated into 3d
For the Lurkers the best place to follow my creations is my Twitter as it is my more current works, of course, I Use all the social platforms and have a large assortment of random creations I’ve done across most of them. I’m been posting my work since 2007.
Selling my skills is a hard one for me, As I put it I’m backyard hack it out to achieve and have been lucky enough to have the time needed to focus on what I have learned. Now I don’t have any ticketed qualification, But I have been through learning institutes and just can’t conform.
“be humble with knowledge because knowledge is a state of freedom, not everyone has”. That’s made it hard I guess. So on that note skills I’m happy and confident to list would be.
Blender3d
Blender is one of the apps that I find constantly running on my P.c. Im using this a lot for modeling, Uvs, rigging, animation, and rendering images.
Unity3d
Is my game engine of choice for creation and I have focused on WebGL builds for use in websites and Android devices over full-scale platforms but am well ves in unity3d.
Snaplens
since Snapchat provides its own platform for Augmented reality development and I’m a fan of this technology. I have spent a bit of time learning how to build there and have a few lenses out with a few waiting in the wind.
Web dev
my main focus has been more frontend but am confident in handling most of the content management systems.
Don’t Get sober Is a little Work in progress. based around similar game mechanics to the game Dont Starve.
Gang Bash is a little use-case example of something 3d NFT’s can be used for. the game Mechanic is based on collecting up the other characters in the city block. then leading them to battle the guards guarding the bank.
Hoverboard is another little use-case example of something 3d NFTs can be used for. The character in The game is an NFT.
