3D artist, game dev enthusiast, and the solo force powering BlackbladeDesign. Based in the creative heart of Australia, I've spent over a decade honing my craft in the trenches of digital artistry. From sketching rough concepts on napkins to building intricate modular assets that hum with flexibility, my journey started with a passion for storytelling through pixels and polygons. What began as late-night experiments in Blender evolved into a full time career, and a mission: empowering indie creators with high-fidelity, plug-and-play assets that don't break the bank or the deadline.

I remember my first big break, becoming the 3D Artist for customisation/automation platform Spiff3D. That rush? It's what keeps me up at 3 AM tweaking normals until they gleam just right. With a background in automotive tech and welding/fabrication, along with a self-taught mastery of tools like Unity, Unreal, Blender, and Substance Painter, I bridge the gap between raw imagination and engine-ready reality. When I'm not modeling military props or eerie medical gear, you'll find me unwinding from the creative chaos with my many Mosby esque hobbies.

The Forge

BlackbladeDesign isn't just a store - it's my digital workshop, and we love to keep it simple. Born from the frustration of seeing talented indies grind through asset creation from scratch. In 2022, I launched with a simple goal: deliver game-ready 3D models that load fast, look pro, and cost a fraction of big-studio prices. Think $30 packs of war-torn rifles based in reality, haunted hospital beds, or modular doors that swing with menace. Every asset is optimized for real-time rendering, LOD-capable, SubD topology, and licensed for commercial glory - no strings, just seamless integration.

Why "BlackBladeDesign"? - non corporate explination? - Galdurs Black Blade from Skyrim sweetnened through console with Fus Ro Dah may have something to do with it (nerd). Corporate explination: It nods to the shadowed edges of design - the gritty, unpolished beauty in a matte-black sword that's as functional as it is fierce. Drawing from themes like horror, warfare, and survival, my collections are curated for narrative depth. But don't let the dark vibes fool you; we're all about lightening your load. Whether you're a solo dev bootstrapping your first Steam title or a marketer prototyping VR demos, BlackBladeDesign equips you to focus on what matters: your story.

• Indie-First Philosophy: Assets built by an indie for indies - affordable, accessible, and endlessly tweakable, we want return customers.
• Tech That Delivers: PBR textures, FBX/OBJ exports, Unity/Unreal ready textures included. No more "almost compatible" headaches.
• Community Fuel: Free updates, user spotlights, and a Discord hub for tips, suggestions, collabs, and the occasional asset sneak peek.

Why This Matters to You

In a world drowning in generic assets, Black Blade Design stands for authenticity. I've poured my profile - years of freelance gigs, overnight grinds, and even a stint consulting on enteprise level solutions into creating content that feels personal and reflects real life subjects. Indie game development, creative content and marketing is tough: budgets are tight, timelines are brutal. That's why every model here is battle-tested in our own prototypes and pipelines, ensuring they spark ideas and save time, not cause issues or take so long to re-topologize that they aren't worth it.
