Join us for a presentation and demo by Gio Nakpil, the Head of Visual Development, Worldwide Substance 3D Evangelism at Adobe.

Gio shares insights into his sculpting philosophy, the 'Hierarchy of Forms,' tailored specifically to highlight Adobe Substance 3D Modeler and Maxon's ZBrush. Viewers will learn about his sculpting methodology, gaining practical insights and techniques for enhancing their sculpting projects. Showcasing both VR and desktop workflows, Gio will explore his "Hierarchy of Forms" concept, distinguishing between primary, secondary, and tertiary forms as he demos in Substance 3D Modeler and ZBrush.

Our guest speaker also shares his journey into the industry, his work experience with Industrial Light & Magic, Valve, and Facebook, and showcases a selection of his favorite personal and professional projects, including Star Trek, The Avengers, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. This event offers a unique opportunity for those looking to understand the philosophical aspects of sculpting while also improving their practical skills and software proficiency.
