Absolutely, which is an enormous well deserved complement! He makes it seem so easy, but he's got a ridiculous amount of skill. He's on his way to giving mind blowing presentations at Blendercon too. ▶ this video

This short was written and directed by Ian Hubert, who is an amazing 3d artist. I'm not affiliated in any way, but I'm just blown away by the sheer talent on display here. If you're interested, a few years ago he did a very interesting presentation[] that goes into a bit more detail on his way of working. [] ▶ this video
