Introduction
My name is Linus, I am 25 years old. Currently I reside in Visby Sweden, where I live and
work. I have been studying various subjects for the last few years ranging from programming to graphical design. Giving me a multitude of skillsets and a wide range of capabilities. For the last 6 years I have worked and educated myself in the field of computer
graphics. This field requires a lot of time and effort outside of school and education to
get really good at it, and to gain a deep and passionate understanding for how the tools
and workflow function. I started freelance and industry work in early 2010.
Along with my work I spent 3 years of university studies at various institutions but I
came to the conclusion that after having spent so much time and effort,(we’re talking
8-10 hours daily on my freetime for years.) I really was overqualified for those schools I
went to. I spend almost all of my free time to constantly improve my skills.
Please visit my web site www.la3d.se for samples of my private and professional work.
Objective
To conquer the world with my ideas and become the best :). Really!
I specialize in rigging and writing tools and technical solutions. However I like to see myself as a generalist TD when it’s called for. Most people out there know either animation,
modelling, texturing or rendering. Through my years I have had the chance to sample all
those fields. But as time went on I realized my true calling lay in creating the infrastructure and tools so that artists can work unhindered without the technical part looming
over their heads. And has thusely excelled at the task. These forays into other fields has
also contributed to a greater understanding of anatomy to aid in my modeling and rigging processes. I love challenges and problem solving and finding new solutions to situations that might arise, no matter how impossible they might appear at first.
