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.

Matúš Černák
3D Artist
Matúš is studying digital media graphics in Nové Zámky. He has been playing games since he was little, with the most popular series being Czech's Mafia. Curious playing also led him to investigate how these illusions actually work. That was just a step away from experimenting with developing your own games. There were a few unsuccessful attempts, but it brought him a new discovery - 3D modeling. Considering his young age, he has been working on 3D graphics since 2018, during which time he himself was a teacher. Apparently, it was the right way, as he models high-quality models of Bratislava buildings for Vivat Slovakia.
