Despite his young age, he has been dedicated to 3D graphics since 2018, during which he was his own teacher. Clearly, it was the right path, as he models high-quality models of Bratislava buildings for Vivat Slovakia.

Ing. Miloš Ujmiak
3D Artist
He has been an avid gamer all his life and has toyed with the idea of learning to code for just as long. So he created smaller games for himself in Unity3D. After graduating from the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava with a degree in load-bearing structures of buildings, working in structural engineering and one trip to Norway, he finally took the plunge at the age of 30. It didn't take long for a combination of Blender and Unity to come his way, and after a year and a half of studying and deciding which way to go, Blender won out. He is on his way to fulfill his dream and pursue a career in game development.

Michal Jakabčic
3D Artist
Currently, our young Mišo is dedicated to creating 3D game assets and textures in programs like Blender and Photoshop. Games like Mafia or Red Dead Redemption absorbed him so much that he dreamed of becoming a game developer. He admired their story, details, and cohesive atmosphere, which these mega-titles exuded. He began implementing his plan as early as elementary school through small Unity projects and simpler 3D models. When the opportunity arose to contribute to the creation of Vivat Slovakia, he didn't hesitate for a second and wrote to the Vivat team. Today, Mišo models more complex objects for Vivat, such as train carriages, cranes, or the iconic television tower.
