Hello! I’m Seyed M. Tabatabaei, a multidisciplinary artist with a strong passion for 3D animation and character art. I recently joined the Think Tank Training Center to develop my skills in character art. Before that, I completed the 3D Character Animation program at Animschool while working as an animator at Steamroller Studios, where I contributed to emote animations for Epic’s Fortnite.
I hold a Master of Arts in Animation from Tehran University of Art, where my animated short Light Sight (2016) gained international recognition. My studies focused on creating believable and engaging 3D characters, particularly within linear storytelling. My passion for storytelling across different mediums also led me to explore Virtual Reality during my Master of Design at Concordia University. My research-creation focused on VR’s unique narrative affordances.
My creative journey began with a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Ajman University, where I developed a strong foundation in geometric design and composition. Working as an architectural designer, ArchViz artist and 3D instructor for several years strengthened my understanding of space and visual presentation, while also sparking my passion for photography and film editing – ultimately leading me to explore storytelling through 3D animation and VR.
