Check some 3D Art/animation tutorials and articles and meet the guy behind them.
Tell me moreHi, I'm Niko and this is my personal site.
Earlier CGmascot was a blog about game art and animation learning. It featured articles on topics such as modeling for animation and animation production.
Blog also had it's own computer graphics mascot (see above) and offered a mascot design service. Yeah, I have lot of love for character art.
Unfortunately life intervined and blog had a good run only for a year. After that it just sat here, collecting spam.
I do not have the time for the upkeep nor blogging, so now (July 2022) this single page replaces the blog. But I still share some CGmascot best bits as downloadable docs.
This webpage is also has my micro CV + Portfolio.
Resources & ArticlesThese resources are from 2010 (CGmascot Blog) or from before. But material chosen here is still quite good advice (imho). Or if it is just a story, then still something I'm okay sharing and a trip down the memory lane.
