Nicholas Tranter
@nicholastranter
3D designer and aspiring game developer specializing in modeling and prototyping.
What I'm looking for
I am a 3D designer and freelance creator who transitioned from architectural drafting to specialize in 3D and spatial design, producing models, prototypes, textured/r rigged assets, and client-tailored renders that combine 3D, 2D and AI techniques. I have completed commissioned work for clients, delivered projects from concept through animation, and optimized models for 3D printing.
I continually expand my technical skills through coursework and competitions—earning certifications in Fusion 360 and Blender and placing silver in a diorama contest—and I bring strong presentation, teamwork, and client-management experience alongside hands-on practice with Unreal Engine and physical production processes.
