3D Artist Career Transition Playbook
A link to help construct our new document
A super quick note today!
I’m in the middle of building out a brand-new 3D Artist Career Transition Playbook, and I’d love your help. I’ve set up a public Notion page where you can see all my writing and research as I’m putting it together.
Jump in, poke around, and leave comments if you see anything I’ve missed or disagree with. This is your chance to help shape it while it’s being built.
I’ll still be releasing new deep-dive articles every Sunday, but if you’re curious about the construction process and want to get involved, here you go!
That’s it for today. More soon.
In the meantime… here’s an eagle with arms. And whips. And just the confidence I hope you all approach your day with.

Hello! Michael Tanzillo here. I am the Head of Technical Artists with the Substance 3D Growth team at Adobe. Previously, I was a Senior Artist on animated films at Blue Sky Studios/Disney with credits including three Ice Age movies, two Rios, Peanuts, Ferdinand, Spies in Disguise, and Epic.
In addition to his work as an artist, I am the Co-Author of the book Lighting for Animation: The Visual Art of Storytelling and the Co-Founder of The Academy of Animated Art, an online school that has helped hundreds of artists around the world begin careers in Animation, Visual Effects, and Digital Imaging. I also created The 3D Artist Community and this newsletter.
