Edgar's response
During the course, Romuald enrolled his son Kenzo with the goal of strengthening the fundamental principles of 3D modeling and design, supporting his professional development. Throughout the sessions, Kenzo demonstrated a high level of interest and commitment, standing out for his willingness to learn and consistency. He actively worked on the creation of artistic pieces, focusing on improving his technical skills as well as optimizing production time for prop creation and organic design development.

Edgar's response
Maya and Zbrush the best industry standard 3d software. Both are powerful enough to get Rain close to her goal. If she is interested in creating high-quality models and creatures, Zbrush is her tool; if she is more into animation, Maya will do the job.

Edgar did a fantastic job of helping my son through an emergency crash course on 3D modelling (Maya) for a university project. Edgar understood the special needs and showed great patience, attention to details and thoughtfulness throughout the training process. He also makes himself available outside of hours for urgent queries. I strongly recommend Edgar for your 3D modelling needs. He's an excellent tutor.
