path to kiosk
Ten years, one library.
2016 ── 2026
The path started at an art academy and continued on commercial production floors. Tight deadlines, tricky assets, the same gaps in every pipeline. The tools below grew out of that work - small scripts at first, then bigger ones, each solving part of what eventually became Kiosk.
pixlvisn media arts academy
Graduated from pixlvisn media arts academy - a foundation in visual effects, 3D animation, and the craft of digital production.

Redshift Material Builder
My first Python tool - built for Maya to speed up Redshift material creation. The first time I realized a script could save hours every week.

Universal Material Builder
A follow-up that went further. Material creation for both Houdini and Maya. Over 2,000 downloads to this day.

Kiosk 1.0
All that knowledge came together. One library to take raw assets and turn them into a scrollable visual collection - with local file integration that common online libraries simply don't offer.

Kiosk 2.0
After two years, the version I always wanted to build. SQL database, 3D file viewer, export commands for every major DCC. Slim, not cluttered. Open it and understand it immediately.
Kiosk exists because deadlines keep getting tighter. More iterations, more platforms, more assets to juggle. Artists shouldn't have to fight their own library to find a texture or drop in an HDRI. The goal is to give artists back the time they lose hunting for files, so they can spend it on the work that actually matters.
