MFA - Modeling

Kai Xue

I believe I’m a great fit for this industry because of my deep passion for animation and storytelling. As a long-time fan of animated films, I’m always inspired by the creativity and imagination behind them. My decision to transition from finance to the 3D industry came from a genuine love for this art form—I’m eager to contribute to building amazing worlds and bringing joy to audiences through our work.

I consider myself a 3D generalist with a strong focus on modeling. However, I’ve never been satisfied with just one part of the pipeline. I’ve worked hard to teach myself every stage—from design and modeling, to texturing, rigging, animation, and even compositing—so I can bring my full vision to life. This journey has made me highly independent, resourceful, and capable of multitasking across different stages of production.
