Hi, I’m Jean-Bernard

Welcome to my personal Portfolio page - a snapshot of my current work, specialties and contact details.

Zen 3D - Intuition rather than Effort

Jean-Bernard Willers

I view 3D Design and Animation
unlike most designers

School Work

I have studied at Open Window, learning how to model, animate, and create anything I can think of virtually, in Blender!

Commercial Work

I specialise in modelling and texturing and I get a real kick out of seeing my final work when it is finally pulled into a scene, video or game.

Personal Work

I love to create wacky and beautiful things, using my knowledge I have gained from university and courses, and continue to improve my skills and resources!

About

"When life gives you lemons, make a battery from zinc and copper anodes, to generate 1.21 gigawatts necessary, to travel back to the future with Doc, to buy the best nVidia graphics card known to man and render an orchard of lemon trees."

I also like Koeksisters, making Music, solving Rubik's Cubes (in that very specific order).

Call Me

I am available for freelance work.

Game Jam

Gamejam Games

I have participated in 3 Gamejams this year and enjoyed working with other designers and programmers to make the most excellent games on the fly.

A game jam is an event where participants try to make a video game from scratch. Depending on the format, participants might work independently, or in teams.

Usually these events is a combo of hectic coding frenzy, coffee and stale pizzas that go on for up to 72 hours.
