Hello, everyone, my name is Henry Mbata.

I wish to thank you first and foremost for visiting my website. I believe some of the works you have seen on this site will inspire you to achieve your goals in your own works, as I aim to make my contribution to the computer graphics and film industry.

I am a 3D modeler, animator, and visual effects artist currently based in the city of Pretoria, South Africa.

I am originally from The Congo...Also known as The Beating Heart of our Mother Continent.

My skills in arts began when I was 6 years old, and one remembers the

Way in which I was able to draw, in my teen years, very realistic pictures of people who asked me to draw them since they heard of my talent.

The road from apprentice to what I prefer to call “Jedi” mastery in the world of computer animation was not an easy one for me, as the very access to a personal computer in the first place was not possible.

Determination, vision, hard work, skills to learn very quickly and above all belief in oneself are the ingredients that led me to accomplish my visions.

I can never emphasize enough the incredible creativity that sparked my imagination as I was priviledged to learn from one of the very best people in 3D animation, Mr Hannes Retief and the continued support from my good friend Pastor Lupa Kalolokesya and his family, and above all, the warmth of love from my family, especially from my inspirational sisters, Sarah Mbata and Bebe Padi Mbata, for believing in me.

Without people like them, chances are you would not even be knowing about me right now.

"The Jedi" is the name people also know me by, a name taken from my favorite film of all time: George Lucas’ Star Wars'. I like to associate myself with Jedi Knights for they have intuitive abilities to accomplish good over evil and circumvent challenges in ALL areas of life.

I encourage anyone who has an unbreakable belief in themselves and the ability to learn quickly to indulge in achieving whatever it is they deem very important to them.

For those who could be wondering what computer I am using to create stunning 3D in less time, here are my computer's features:

The best advice I can give anyone, is to "Believe".

It makes me sad when I hear people say "One day I want to achive the following.....", trust me, that "One day" is in fact 'TODAY'.
