Thank you for taking some time to look at my work!

​

I'm Jenson Dantes, originally from Colorado, now attending SCAD in Savannah, GA.

​

Starting as early as grade 5, I knew I had a deep interest for both art and mathematics. I had always been fascinated and influenced by ​the perspective drawing skills of my Lolo, the architecture of figures like Zaha Hadid and Wright, and the visual arts as a whole. I knew I wanted to pursue these subjects in some capacity, exploring the idea of studying Architecture through middle and high school. Yet, it wasn't until I had graduated high school that I came across a software called Blender. 

​

Prior to using Blender, I had experience using more STEM-oriented software like Autocad Inventor, Solidworks, and Sketchup. So, almost instantly, I fell in love with Blender. I would stay awake until the sun came up eagerly scrolling through Blender forums, tutorials, and other 3D artist's work. It was like a new door opened for me, with limitless project ideas and skillsets to tackle. 

​

Despite Architecture being my intended field of study for most of my life, my decision to major in the field at SCAD was inevitably short-lived. In just the first couple weeks of classes, I remember watching a fellow classmate showcase their work for a VFX class, where they had built a cinematic sci-fi environment in 3D. I had very little knowledge of VFX in general, but needless to say, my major was changed within the next quarter.

​

Currently, my fields of interest are FX, Lighting/Look Development, VEX for Houdini, and environment art. I am expected to graduate in May of 2026 with a BFA in Visual Effects and a minor in Technical Direction. I look forward to what the future holds!
