Hello, I have been working in the field of 3D modelling and Animation for 5 years. I have worked within many different fields in art and animation. I am currently the owner of Lucky Leno Studios.

I am a graduate of the University of South Florida with a BFA in Studio Art. There, I learned the many ins and outs of 3D animation and design. I also gained experience in Fine art as well; Studying things such as composition, lighting, and form through physical mediums such as Sculpture and Painting.

I have taught 3D animation and Design for 4 years now. I have worked with students in programs such as Maya, Blender, and Unreal Engine. Together, we worked on personal projects that helped them better understand the programs they use in their workflows.

I really enjoy helping others learn so they can create the projects that they are envisioning. There is no greater feeling than bringing an idea to life.

Helped With Unreal issues

Peter, 1 lesson with Michael

Fantastic guide and expert

Michael was very knowledgeable and shared expert advice on how my son should approach building his portfolio for college applications. He also explained the differences and nuances between various animation tools and highlighted the foundational skills that are essential for building a career in the animation industry.

Patient and knowledgeable teacher

Though I know what I'd like to do, I've always had difficulty expressing myself and understanding the concepts explained. Despite this, Michael B has been an invaluable resource through his patience and understanding in guiding me in my journey through Blender and various plugins, and other platforms.

Awesome animation tutor

Michael is a great teacher and is not only knowledgeable but personable as well and I highly recommend that you try some sessions with him. I am a self-taught animator and Michael has really helped to fill in the gaps. Michael provides solutions for the many issues that arise from using Unreal Engine and teaches real-life application of various animation software. After each session, he sends recordings to reference for future use, which has come in handy many times! If you are tired of searching endlessly online for answers, only to be disappointed and frustrated by the results, give michael a call. He is the best!!

Truly talented graphics artist

We have been working on a bus project for the past few months for s game called OMSI bus simulator. Michael is amazing, o could easily find a tutor to help me draw it but, to male it functional requires a special skill. He is as excited about this project as I am. He is very patient, answers all of my questions and willing to explore area that he himself has to learn. Withiut this tutor I would not have been able to get as far as we have gotten so far. This guy is awesome without him I would have given up a long time ago.

A++ Tutoring Session

My tutoring class with Michael was A++. He wasted no time and helped me learn many things about how to fix animation issues and more. I learned more things in this tutoring session compared to watching countless of online videos about the same issue. He is very knowledgeable in his craft, and I highly recommend him.

Maria, 1 lesson with Michael

I'm very lucky to have found Michael for a tutor.

Before meeting Michael, I was really stressed out! But Michael and I had a discussion regarding a lot of questions that were stirring in my head on how to proceed in this new project that I was assigned to. He helped me narrow the process into something simple and more manageable and showed me which applications were best suited for the project. He also showed me how to acquire the best assets and how the project should progress, to save time and money. Thanks Michael for putting my mind at ease. Can't wait for the next lesson to start next week!

Helpful teacher.

Michael started out by asking about my project and what my roadblocks were. He then walked me through how UE5 and Blender could solve my problems. He also showed me streamlined ways to accomplish my goals. I'm very satisfied and will turn to him for help in the future.

Tom, 3 lessons with Michael

listened to what I wanted to do and started me on the road to my goals.

I had a hard time getting into Wyzant. The passwords just weren't working, but Michael was patient and found a way for us to get together. He went over many of the basic things I will need to learn to achieve my goals, and next session, we'll begin a plan of action.
