Former classmate and friend to Erin Sparler joins her this week to dive into the 3D art world. Casper De La Cruz attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco at the same time as Erin. Not only did they go to school together, but they also both majored in Computer Arts. Both Artists obtaining the same degree, reached success utilizing it through separate paths.
Casper now works for a small company called AV Design. This company designs 3D animation for consumers, one commonly known consumer their company creates for is, Lego. 3D Art has evolved and advanced in many ways over the years, where now you can create almost anything from animation art.
