About me

I'm Jonas Stubenruss, a 28 year old 3D artist from Sweden. My main focus is 3D assets for VFX which includes modeling, texturing and shading/lookdev. I also have experience working as a 3D generalist. Other hobbies include digital painting and photography.

A lot of my free time usually goes towards various personal art projects but aside from creating I really love to travel and explore new places and cultures.
