Instructor Details

Nalini Kanta Jena

When I was 10 years old everybody discover that I am a gifted artist because at a very early age of 10 I was doing clay modeling of indian goddess without taking any training. I was a famous boy in our village and near by area because of my art.
I did that till my tenth grade then I joined B.K college of art and crafts, Bhubaneswar for my BFA degree in Applied art department. I competed that in 2008. Then I started my professional career.
Since then i have never look back, My art has grown mature. I have worked for many educational Institution such as ZICA, Reliance Education and Arena as a 3d Faculty. I have got lots of love from my students from those institution.
Then I have worked in game production as Game Artist at Lakshya Digital and Dhruva Interactive in Bangalore.
Final words....I don't just teach, I believe in converting a student into production ready artist. I know, it's a huge task but I love this task. This is Nalini kanta Jena hope I will teach you soon the beauty of game art creation and make a solid career as an game artist. This vastly growing profession is waiting for you.
Last but not the list DON:T JUST PLAN, TAKE ACTION.

This course is great! Teacher is extremely detailed and to the point and really knows what he's doing i've seen a ton of zbrush courses and this one is one of the best covering beginner to advanced techniques.

Very good course. Nexttut has some of the most high quality easy to follow so you can learn what you need material. I bought several of their videos even before finishing one because I like having the Library of resources to refer too at any time. They break down every aspect from model, to Uv mapping, texturing and most important, what others seem to miss, they cover in depth on retopology. Thank you for all of the quality tutorials?
