Hello! My name is Matthew Smith and I am a 3D artist with a focus on environments and props. While my main focus is 3D modeling, I am traditionally trained and have experience in various mediums, including graphic design, illustration and photography, as well as sculpture and mixed media.

I first discovered 3D modeling when I attended Columbia College Chicago, and while it was not what I intentionally planned to focus on, I became completely enthralled after I took just one class. As I continued to learn, it became more and more clear that this was the career I wanted to pursue. I continued to learn during my sophomore and junior years, and by senior year, I collaborated with other students to create a demo for a video game called ‘Vilcane.’ This was my Capstone project at Columbia and was both an extremely fun and enlightening experience. It was the first time I worked in a large group setting and is an experience I learned a lot from. I received my BA in 2019 and have been working as a freelance and contract artist as I search for a full time position. I hope to work with other talented artist and professionals in the future, all while continuing to improve my craft.
