Here is a list of tools and tech I am using right now.
I am always on the hunt for tools to make our work more efficient. This page is a list of my favourites.

Tech and Tools for Remote Digital Artists A list of all the hardware and devices I am currently using can be found here.

💾 Main Software
The main software I use daily is 3ds Max, V-Ray and Photoshop. Here is an Introduction to 3ds Max video and here is a look at the latest version of V-Ray.

Elevanlabs for Voice cloning and Multi-language dubbing.

⛅ Rendering
I highly recommend using Chaos Cloud to render. Being able to render on remote machines allowed me to pick up my laptop and travel the world. It’s straightforward to use and you can get 20 free credits using this link. Here is a video on how to use Chaos Cloud.

📜 Scripts
I am a big fan of using scripts to speed up your workflow. Here are a few I have made.

• Copy and Paste between 3ds Max scenes. Write a quick script that will save you hours of time.

• Here is the HDRI thumbnail generator script and this video will explain what it does.

• Tired of hitting the interactive render button? Create a V-Ray Interactive Render Keyboard Shortcut.

• Center and Ground Pivot Script Here is a video on how to use this.

Here are the ones I recommend:

• Relink Bitmaps helps you find all the textures that are missing from your scene. Here is how.

• Image Comp Helper is a great script that helps you get the best camera angles for your work. Here’s a quick demo.

👩‍🎓 Learning

Want to know what Global Illumination is?

In our industry, we have to be learning every day or we will fall behind. I suggest dedicating at least a couple of hours per week to seeing what’s new in the industry and learning new tech and workflows.

(shameless plug) For the latest news, I recommend signing up for my newsletter and subscribe to the YouTube channel.

If you want to dive deeper into a topic then I have courses that you can find here.
