Danial Wahid

I am a developing Further Education teacher for 3D Art in Games with a strong technical background in modeling, texturing, animation, and real-time engine techniques. I am currently in the process of completing my PGCE (Level 7) and have finished my BSc in Game Design and Production. I have strong technical knowledge of the 3D pipeline and have been delivering lessons in animation/modeling for students at Level 3.

My long-term goal is to make a meaningful contribution to the Further Education sector in the capacity of a teacher, as teaching makes me whole. I am also currently starting my masters at MMU university for Games Art as well.
