Summary

I've started studying 3D Modeling in 2013, since then I've specialized in Character creation, creatures more specificly. I've worked a year as a freelance artist, and after that got hired to work as the lead 3D modeler by the Metropolitan Center of Design Laboratory in Buenos Aires.

My main tool for modeling is ZBrush, and Keyshot for rendering.

    I worked for the laboratory as the main 3D Modeler, where I’d usually estimate modeling, rendering and printing time, type and amount of material needed.

    Models created for:

    Department of Comunication:

    First 3D Printed Guitar in Latin America (Printed at the CMD Lab) - (3D Model, renders and turntable) Link: http://www.buenosaires.gob.ar/noticias/la-primera-guitarra-electrica-ecologica-de-america-latina-fabricada-en-el-sur-de-la-ciudad

    Da Vinci’s “Flying Machine” (3D Model, renders and turntable)

    All these models, renders and turntables have been used in promotional videos for the Government, political campaigns and the Lab’s own publicity.

    IMECO (Orthopedic Implants):

    “Casa de Tucuman” 3D Model. The model will be used in an app where people can lift the ceiling and look at the interiors of the house where the declaration of Argentina’s independence has been proclaimed on July 9th of 1816.

    Freelance Entrepeneurs:

    Karate Sensei: Ordered 13 different models of Karate “Katas” or poses of himself for printing, mass producing and commercializing.
