CGTrader Designer Spotlight: Bernhard van der Horst

Who is Bernhard van der Horst?

My name is Bernhard van der Horst and I specialize in 3D models, leaning towards dark fantasy, horror, and science fiction creatures and character model creation. I started learning 3D art and everything it entails about 7 years ago after feeling stuck in the wrong jobs. I am very happy I made the choice.

CGTrader Designer Spotlight: Enterables

What is Enterables?

My name is Gregory. Here is a short story about the founding of our Enterables company and the origins of its name. More than 10 years ago, my brother and I, as teenagers, tried to create our own open-world RPG, inspired by the games of big companies with big budgets. (Yes, I know we didn't stand a chance then.) Of course, the game started in a small medieval village, and this is where the biggest problem arose. We searched markets with thousands of 3D models in search of the perfect medieval huts, but unfortunately all models were made in a way that made it impossible to go inside and explore. I assume that it was just faster to make the model, so no one wanted to do the interior. Therefore, as a junior 3D designer, I had to learn how to create huts with interiors myself. Over time, it became my passion, and I opened a shelf in a store called "Enterables," which means "with the possibility to explore inside." It turned out that game developers really appreciated my models and asked about other genres (not only medieval). This is how my store grew, and at the moment, "Enterables" is a recognizable and liked brand among game developers. At the moment, 13 people work at Enterables, and soon you will see more effects of our work. Stay tuned!
