Hey folks! My name is Bradley Wascher, I am a senior technical artist working in the video game industry. I have several years of on-the-job experience creating 3D art for video games. I've had the great pleasure in my many jobs to have learned a lot and met a lot of great people that had their own techniques and insight. I wanted to give back to the world of 3D by releasing classes and tutorials that would help others either get a grasp of how video games are actually built or help artists that are already working to advance their skills. If you ever have any questions just let me know. -BW
