About
Hello dear friend!
My name is Svyatoslav Sol.
My professional career began with graphic design and studying the fundamental principles of composition, color, working with typography, understanding the form and creating a design that solves the problem and performs the required function.
Having worked as a graphic designer, I saw a transition to 3D as a natural step. Now in my arsenal I have the skills necessary to complete any goal. In each work, I aim to improve all its components in order to achieve maximum results in every detail.

Experience
Oct 2020 — Aug 2021
M1 Music Channel
3D Generalist
My main tasks were to create virtual environments for broadcasts and TV shows. Most of the work I did in Unreal Engine, but there were also a lot of tasks to fix or improve the 3D models available in the library. I was also lucky to work on a music video for the MOZGI band — the first in Ukraine filmed on the basis of a virtual engine, Unreal Engine 4. For the clip my tasks were working with particles in UE, transferring characters and animation from iClone to UE, fixing face and character animation, blocking and building the scene according to the Art Director’s brief, textures, models and lighting.
