Hello and welcome to my website. I’m Chris Curtis, a Freelance 3D Artist, Designer and Animator with over 25 years professional experience, and over 14 years as a freelancer.
I specialise in high quality Modelling, Sculpting, Texturing and Rendering. I can create realistic hard-edged or organic models of just about anything, in just about any style. Whether it's for Print, a Realtime Engine, a Motion Graphics video, a 3D Print or a polished Visual. I am also a dab hand at bringing them to life with some Animation, and can add some flare to them in After Effects too.
During my professional career, I have had the opportunity to work with many prestigious companies. Including top ATL Advertising, Marketing, Branding, Experiential, Events, Point-Of-Sale, Retail, Medical, Sports broadcast and Theatre agencies. I have also worked on a multitude of well known brands.

Some years back, Pixologic, the creators of ZBrush, held a competition titled "Action Hero". Which involved creating a unique action or super hero using their software. I decided to rework my entry for that competition and this was the result. My original concept was inspired by frogs and toads that secrete poison from glands in their skin. So I decided I wanted to create a villain that secretes nitric acid from her skin. Modelled in Maya and sculpted in ZBrush. Textures created in Zbrush and Photoshop.

I was approached to make a collection of models for an online breast augmentation visualiser. The request was for a 360º animation of each model, with 6 different breast sizes, 6 different body shapes and 6 different skin tones (over 200 variations!). However, I knew this was easily achievable using ZBrush's layer system to create the body shapes and breast sizes. Then exported them to Cinema 4D to use set up a single model that used the variations as morph targets/blendshapes. The base model, animation and rendering was done in Cinema 4D. All sculpting and blendshapes created in ZBrush.
