Thanks for watching my journey on Alive Studios. I want to build the most exciting AR experiences, including games, movies and useful apps. My background is mainly in 2D/3D animation using Blender and After Effects, but I have always loved the idea of Augmented Reality. I also enjoyed coding. So at the end of 2022, I decided to learn Unity and delve deeper into AR Software Development. That's how I founded Alive Studios. Let's see how far we can get 🙂
