Top SchoolPatrick Schwalbe is a 3D Technical Artist in Minneapolis with 11 years of focused industry experience and a career in 3D art stretching back to 2000.

Currently driving 3D design and development for Target’s owned brands, he has led rigging and production pipelines for medical animation and produced dynamic simulations and motion effects at studios like Gasket and Meditech.

He’s as comfortable optimizing render pipelines and authoring scripts as he is crafting particle and fluid effects, frequently improving coworkers’ workflows with bespoke tooling.
