Next on Gamereactor Academy: 3D Modelling

Our latest session for Gamereactor Academy airs this evening, and features Swedish artist Wiktor Öhman, who'll give a basic introduction to 3D modelling and texturing, and show how his skills have increased over his career.

The artist worked at Ubisoft Massive as as junior 3D artist on the multiplayer section of FarCry 3.

"Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to be involved in making video games, just like so many others," he explains. "When I was younger, video games were almost something magical. I had no idea how they were made, and I had no idea what the industry looked like. It wasn't until I was to choose my line of education at the age of 19 when I picked up a flyer for a school called School of Future Entertainment when I realised that you could actually go to school to learn how to make video games. This was in early 2007. I got in and I had a blast. I worked my butt off all my waking hours and it was paying off......"

Academy subscribers can hear how he joined the industry, as well as see him discussing his work and giving an introductory session on 3D modelling, from 6pm GMT / 7pm CET this evening. After the session, Wiktor will answer any questions during a live chat here.

All you need to do to watch the session, and gain access to others (both past and future), is to enroll with Gamereactor Academy.

The Academy offers a series of extensive videos with industry figures offering insights into game development, inspiration and education, providing you with the information and knowledge you need if you're looking to begin a career in game development. The sessions will offer both more practically focused programs as well as relaxed conversations with developers.
