Stephen Woods
Hi, I’m Stephen – great to meet you!
I fell in love with 3D art in 2005 when I began using 3DS Max in 2005 while studying Film-craft and Animation. A few years later I moved onto Maya and Lightwave while completing a degree in Computer Animation. I discovered, despite a love of animation and filmmaking, that creating 3D art was the career for me.
While taking time off to be a stay-at-home dad to two brilliant boys, I discovered Blender and explored every aspect of this amazing content creation software, from modelling, lighting, texturing, rendering, and compositing to animation, video editing, VFX and recently, geometry nodes. Transitioning from Max and Maya to Blender as my primary production tool.
Since discovering GameDev.tv’s awesome Unity courses many years ago, I’ve also caught the programming bug and recently completed a second degree in Computing and IT with Design, where I mostly concentrated on Design Thinking and innovation, Python, Java, and C# programming, Software Engineering and Web Technologies.
I’m honoured to now teach Blender for a living, creating several courses over the years. I just couldn’t be happier that I now work with GameDev.tv to bring you more Blender courses that will inspire you to level up your 3D art, whether for games, illustration, or animation.
