Ty Culwell

Since middle school, I have been passionate about the world of visual storytelling fascinated by both movies and video games, from Studio Ghibli films to Call of Duty. I was captivated by the art of 2D and 3D media, which motivated me to experiment with animation early on. While still in school, I took art classes where I competed and was proud to win state level awards, fueling my dedication to artistic excellence.

My interest in animation led me to work with tools such as Source Filmmaker (SFM) and Roblox, where I gained hands on experience in creating and manipulating digital models and scenes. Alongside this, I developed an interest in coding, exploring how programming enhances animation and interactive media.

During my time at the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW), I encountered new software and advanced animation techniques that challenged me to grow both technically and creatively. These experiences taught me the importance of focus, patience, and critical thinking skills I now aim to share as a tutor. I am eager to help others develop their animation skills, combining my artistic background with technical knowledge to inspire and guide students in mastering 3D animation.

I did 3 weapon animation for a commissioner that found me online, I animated, beretta, Ump5, and NTW-20 for their game. I handled their commissions in short time but they didn't pay me till months later. as I kept the files till payment was received. I had to rig and modify the weapons so they would fit into a more proper system that the commissioner was ok with.
