Bill Dorais

Bill Dorais is a motion artist and 3D designer whose playful digital worlds bring sculptural form, drawing, and animation into vivid conversation.

Dorais creates daily renders and personal experiments across Adobe Medium, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Maya, and other digital tools. He moves between drawing, virtual-reality collage, modeling, sculpting, texturing, and 3D rendering, treating software as a space for discovery. His process balances technical precision with the spontaneity of hand-drawn marks and self-initiated play.

His career spans independent exploration, self-initiated group projects, and commercial production. As Head of 3D and CG Supervisor at Buck NY, Dorais brings this range to client work while continuing his personal practice. He is also a co-creator of vanMinions, modeling each character bust in Maya, sculpting it in ZBrush, and creating textures primarily in Substance Painter.
