About me
Hi, my name is Troy and I’m a student 3D artist currently studying in my second year of an FdA Games and Interactive Design course in the UK.
In 2019 I began experimenting with Blender after having used various 2D art applications such as Adobe Photoshop for over 5 years. After making this change, I realised that I have a huge interest in creating 3D graphics for video games and TV. At the moment I am working on expanding my skillset to encompass other areas with a focus on lighting and rendering techniques in relation to environment art.
My current portfolio of work can be found on my website at: troylusty.com/projects.

Experience
2020-Now Camouflage Store
Management of an online e-commerce store in addition to creating, editing, and publishing informational YouTube and social media content for a family run outdoors store. Most recently I completed modernising the website which included moving it to Shopify from its previous CMS platform. This resulted in the owner now having more control over his own business. Other links: YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. Reference: Steve Passmore
Digital capture of the historic building and its artefacts using photogrammetry and 3D laser scanning techniques. Carried out with a University tutor during the restoration of the building as a means of preservation. Reference: Joseph Cook
2021-2022 Dialled in Bikes
Product management of an online store using WordPress. Additionally, various visual design changes were made to the layout of the site and its content through the use of custom plugins. Reference: Simon Pedrick
2019 WebBoss
I joined WebBoss for a week as my work experience placement in Sixth Form. In my time there I sat with the designers and developers observing the work they did before going off to create my own designs. These designs were then later turned into templates that customers could use as a launchpad when creating their own site. I used Adobe XD and Photoshop to create the designs which turned out to be different to what the rest of the team were using, however I was still able to fit into their team. Upon completion of the week I was invited back to work further over the coming holiday. Reference: Jake Smith
2017-2018, 2019 Hele Cross Service Station, Cox of Torbay
Whilst in secondary school I worked in two fuel stations, gaining experience in working with others and communicating with customers. Initially my job was to unload deliveries, keep products stocked up, and server customers. Later, once I was older, this progressed to assisting in opening and closing up the shop.
