OddBeast Adds 3D Artist Alex Weber to Creative Team

​OddBeast continues to expand its creative team to meet the needs of a growing client roster. The award-winning motion design and production studio has hired talented 3D artist Alex Weber after working with him extensively on a freelance basis. Weber’s portfolio includes 3D projects for TaylorMade, Jack Daniel’s and Old Spice, among others.

Joining OddBeast full-time, Alex will dig in as the studio’s primary product visualiser, a role that requires significant self-motivation, attention to detail and organisation, along with a willingness to 'get it right,' even if that means no shortcuts. These skills will be essential in cleaning up CAD models, modelling products from scratch and processing all client artwork files to be used on 3D models. Weber will also control the most important part... lighting.

“Alex has a combination of things we were looking for,” said OddBeast founder/president Ronny Young. “He went to school to be an engineer initially, so you know his eye is well-trained for the details our clients crave – a MUST for this position. We also wanted a self-starter who cares a lot about the quality of their work, and he has those traits in spades.”

Alex Weber was an engineering student when he began his studies at the University of Louisville. After quickly realising he was more into pixels than physics, he changed his major to Graphic Design and graduated in 2018. Alex’s foray into 3D was a side hustle and some late-night YouTube tutorials before becoming a full-on obsession. During the pandemic, he moved to NKY and freelanced until he was offered a role at Durham Design Studio. Since then, he has created 3D work for such recognised brands as TaylorMade, Olay, Jack Daniel's, Old Spice, New Riff and Bud Light. Born and raised in the Bluegrass, Weber nurtures a passion for woodworking and good bourbon when he’s not neck-deep in 3D work.

“I’m beyond excited to join the crew at OddBeast - a wildly talented bunch of creatives who aren’t afraid to push boundaries, break some rules (in a good way), and make seriously cool stuff while they’re at it,” said Alex. “I look forward to levelling up my 3D game, embracing the weird and helping to bring bold, unexpected ideas to life.”
