3D Modelling and VFX work

Welcome to my website, my name is Ryan or more commonly known online as "ITBERYAN"

I am a 3D modeller and Digital Artist who enjoys creating and learning new techniques in 3D.

I have extensive experience in Story Writing, 3D Art, Animation and VFX which, upon combining this diverse skillset, allows me to create immersive worlds for people to get lost within.

Feel free to take a look around the site to see what I've been up to and I hope you enjoy!

Background

When I was younger, I had an obsession with Video Games, Sci-Fi, Movies and other forms of media.
From very early in my education in roughly around UK Year 7 or 8, I already knew I wanted to create fictional worlds and Science Fiction creations for people.
Later on, this passion for creativity grew into me becoming a 3D Artist and Game Developer along with Voice Acting on the side, later on turning my focus to CGI, VFX and Animation. I wanted to be involved with as many forms of Digital Media as possible especially when it comes to storytelling using these media genres.

My main inspirations for VFX are Weta Digital, a VFX house that were behind the effects seen in some Marvel movies and other large budget projects.

And Corridor Digital, a smaller company that uploads VFX content to YouTube and also explore the latest techniques and technologies used in the industry itself. These allow me to find new and interesting ways to create the content I wish to make and I am always eager to learn new techniques.

Virtual Reality

I was heavily influenced by Virtual Reality when it first came out.
I used to sit for hours at a time just watching people having incredible VR experiences with the first headsets that hit the market.
Eventually, VR took a massive turn in terms of tracking capability and immersion, it was at this point that I took the leap and bought a HTC Vive Headset. I was immediately hooked, this new way of experiencing digital creations was incredible to me and I began exploring virtual worlds on a daily basis, even going as far as to sleep in Virtual Reality at some points.
The image you see behind this text is called "Plugged In" it is a real life picture of me combined with CGI elements and is a representation of my connection to VR. Forever connected, but content with this.

These days I create virtual avatars for people to become in Virtual Reality itself as freelance commissions. This requires 3D and Unity knowledge.
