Dax Getty is an 3D generalist, 2D animator, and concept artist currently located in Greenville, North Carolina, where they are working on their BFA in Interactive Design and Animation at East Carolina University.

​

Using the 3D animation pipeline, as well as hand drawn and rigged 2D animation, they explore themes of family, the fantastical, and finding acceptance in unexpected places. Their work challenges the gender binary, the superiority of hyper-independence, and the perception of the perfect past self. They are training in Autodesk Maya, Zbrush, Blender, Moho, TV Paint, the Adobe Suite, and Unreal and Unity Game Engines.

 

They received the Undergraduate Master’s Award during the 2025 FormForge Exhibition for their 3D modeling work, an Award of Merit for their drawing “Still Life Final” during the 2024 ECU Undergraduate Exhibition, and are a two time recipient of the Taeylor Art Supply Award scholarship. Their art has been displayed for ECU’s NASAD review, the 2024 and 2025 ECU Undergraduate Exhibitions, and the 2025 group exhibition “Touchy Subjects.”  Getty is currently working as a 3D Modeler on the Virtual Clinic project for the ECU College of Nursing, as well as working on the FormForge 2026 Exhibition as a 3D generalist, team lead, and art director. They will graduate with their BFA in Animation from ECU in 2027.
