About On Mars 3D
I'm Aunmar Mohammed, a Solutions Architect at Epic Games, a 3D artist and an educator with 15 years of teaching experience. I've worked on projects in CG, VFX, video games, product visualization and architecture.
On Mars 3D is where I teach the methods and workflows professionals use every day. The goal is to help you build clean, efficient topology and animation-ready models, whether 3D is your job or your hobby.
Professional Experience:
I'm a Solutions Architect at Epic Games. Over my career I've worked in cinematic visual effects, product design and real-time 3D, and what I learned on those projects goes straight into how I teach.
YouTube:
I also run the YouTube channel On Mars 3D, with over 115,000 subscribers, 5 million views and 500,000 hours of watch time. It's tutorials and breakdowns on 3D modeling in Blender, Maya, Unreal Engine and Substance Painter.
Whether you're just starting out or cleaning up advanced work, the videos focus on the "why" behind the "how", so you can take a workflow and use it on your own models.

Grab the Miro board I used in my 3D Art Talk: Topology video. It's the same one I use to explain edge flow and the modeling decisions behind clean topology.
If you can't tell yet whether your topology is good or bad, start here. It's free.
