Flavius Stefeliga
3D Blender Artist
Hi! My name is Flavius Stefeliga.
I'm an experienced 3D Artist
with a demonstrated history of working
in the 3D art industry. This includes
my current position at Wave Design Studio.
Throughout my career, I've always looked
for ways that I could serve the industry
and aspiring artists for the betterment
of our community.
And now, I've finally come across
the opportunity to create a class with Coloso
where I could share some of the skills
I've learned during my time in the industry.
During this class, I'll be covering my entire
process
for putting together a visually stunning
Medieval Banquet Hall: from modeling to compositing.
I'll also be revealing some extra special tips and tricks
I've uncovered throughout my many years of teaching.
My goal is to provide a helpful guide for people
who want to improve their Blender skills
so that they can become remarkable artists.

Modeling from Scratch
Find out how you can efficiently handle and modify primitive shapes while also learning the basics of modeling using the Extrude and Bevel tools—some of the most critical tools for modeling. You'll also discover a more efficient approach to modeling using Mirror and Array modifiers.
Creating the Right Atmosphere
Texturing is a vital part of setting up the atmosphere and mood of a scene, and that's just the start of what you'll learn in this class. You'll also receive tips for finding textures that match your scene perfectly, so you can finish your work faster than ever before.
Compositor Setup & Render Time!
One of the most important parts of making your scene more visually attractive is to know what to do during the post-production phase. You'll learn to set the camera up for cinematic shots and animate camera movement. Then, I'll share my tips for the properties of rendering that'll help you accelerate the entire process.

Interview
With Expert 3D Blender Artist
Flavius Stefeliga
I think Medieval Banquet Halls are visually attractive. At the same time, making them is a very complex process that requires a lot of detail work, not only due to the assets in the scene but also for the textures and lighting, which we will discuss thoroughly during this class. My years of experience using Blender have offered me the time and practice needed to develop in-depth knowledge of this powerful tool. I'd love to share these insights with students interested in taking this class, as it will serve as a helpful guide for them during their artistic journey.
Question.02
Could you please share how you started your journey in the industry?
Could you please share how you started your journey in the industry?
I started out creating digital paintings of fictional superheroes with just a digital tablet and Photoshop. I even took a class on logos, flyers, banners, and basically the printing side of art, but I didn’t pursue that as a career because it wasn't a fun thing for me. Luckily, I found a job creating concept art for mobile games, and for 5 months there, I had a chance to make animations in Flash. After landing a job at my current studio, I started to work on 2D images, but I began to notice others at the company were trying to get into 3D at the time. However, the company didn’t have enough money to budget for 3D software, so we started out with Blender, and we've been using it ever since. It's already been almost 5 years since I got into 3D art and 8 or 9 years since I entered the industry. I'm very thankful I've had the chance to take this path in life.
Question.03
Please share your thoughts on the industry's job market and what you see in the industry's future.
Please share your thoughts on the industry's job market and what you see in the industry's future.
In my humble opinion, the 3D industry offers unlimited opportunities and jobs as long as you are willing to continuously and persistently learn about modern techniques, the latest technologies, and updated versions of tools. Although we are in an era where many people believe that AI is taking over the art industry, I think there are things that AI cannot and will not be able to replace. This includes the creativity, persistence, passion & spontaneity of an artist. These qualities will guarantee your success, not only in the 3D art industry, but the art industry in general. There are numerous jobs and specializations in the 3D industry that you can dedicate yourself to, and for me, they all seem like great opportunities that are widely available for aspiring artists to start building a career in this field.
