Mike D will cover both the “Simple Icon Creation” and “Advanced Icon Creation” tabs, offering tips on using presets, setting up renders, and batch processing icons.

About the presenter : Mike D
Mike lives in Greece. He studied Chemistry/Biochemistry at the University of Ioannina. At the same time, he joined the Students Photographic Club of the university. After graduation, he worked as a Chemistry and Biology teacher at high schools. As the time passed by, he realized that the students preferred watching a visual representation of a topic rather than reading about it from an endless text. In order to meet their needs, he started learning about 3D and animation.
It was October of 2016 when he decided to design and program a website containing all the visual work he had done so far. So, www.mikededes.com was born. It contains a lot of photos, timelapses and 3D projects.
At the same time, after watching a lot of webinars, mostly from Digital Art Live, various tutorials and reading about advanced 3D techniques, he managed to create his own 3D commercial items. After a few months, he became a PA in DAZ 3D. In the next couple of years, he gradually reduced his teaching hours in order to devote himself to working as a full-time content creator for DAZ 3D. He has released a lot of products ever since.
Now, his main arsenal includes 3D Max, ZBrush, UVLayout Pro, Substance Designer, Substance Painter, Photoshop and Marvelous Designer. He likes to create Props, Clothes, Environments, but mostly Scripts. “There is one or more scripts in almost every one of my products, to maximize the user experience, even if the user doesn’t even know about their existence!”, as he says.
In his spare time, he likes watching movies and playing a good PC game with his girlfriend. Photography remains his hobby till today.
