Hi my name is Young Kim. I have been working, learning and using 3D / 2D software to make and create art works for commercial and personal use. I had a portfolio website before, but I cancelled the web hosting to take a long break from the works due to my neck muscle pain. Now I decided to use a blog to show some of my works.
I started learning 3D with 3Ds max studio and moved to learn Softimage XSI in the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan. I felt very comfortable with Softimage though the industry uses Maya more. I have to learn Maya someday.
Thank you for your visit and I wish you enjoy my works here !!
My motto is, "My inspiration is from my works."
