Spencer Ballard

I'm a 3D Modeler who specializes in environmental design, ranging from massive building complexes and detailed interiors all the way to the individual props that bring a scene to life. I believe that paying proper attention to these details is what adds weight to digital worlds, and it is the goal of my work to create immersive experiences that make my audience feel like they could reach out and touch the scene that is in front of them.

 

I have always been drawn to realism and faithfully recreating environments that you would come across in real life, and I accomplish this by crafting highly detailed models that mirror actual building practices. Not only should the objects in the scene be visually pleasing but they should make sense in their purpose and location. We see these things in our everyday lives so it is easy to notice when something is out of place. Combine this practice with realistic texturing and lighting and you are able to create worlds that people can connect with effortlessly.

 

I also enjoy merging my love for music with my digital design work by creating custom visual accompaniments to some of my favorite songs. Often times music paints images in my head that I now am able to translate into full 3D animations to share with the world. I think there is something very powerful about watching a visual interpretation of a song that is already emotionally impactful to so many people. Being able to link these two worlds together is something I'm very passionate about.
