BIO
Hi, I am Hunter Benko, I have a Degree in CG arts from The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark. I am interested in working with Games and Animation Studios on figuring out the best solution to pre-production or post-production issues. My main interests are Concept, Modeling, Texturing, Lighting, Cinematography, and Simulation. I enjoy finding a solution to whatever problem may occur and enjoy the fast-paced energy of the industry. If I am not doing that I am probably skateboarding, snowboarding, or out taking photos.
