ASHLEY MCFETRIDGE

Media Arts & Animation

Profile
Art has always been a passion of mine. I
used to think art was a hobby until I was
introduced to animation. My true passions
are creating 3D models and textures, 3D
animations and motion graphics. I primarily
utilize 3DS Max and Zbrush. Discipline,
dedication, flexibility and seeking
perfection are qualities that define me.
These qualities are there for every task I
pursue. My mind is open to learning new
things, new experiences and expanding
my knowledge.
