Explanation:
野郎会 seems to refer to social get-togethers, specifically of males only, with a focus on a particular interest. My suggested translation doesn't capture the full import of the term in this light but may be sufficient depending on the full context.

Explanation:
野郎 is a slang or an informal term, so it means a guy, a dude, etc., rather than the standard form of 男 or 男性 (man or male). "3D freak" may convey the nuance of 3D野郎, but this may sound too informal, depending on the formality of the bio.

"fellow" has different meanings, including an informal term of a man, boy, one, oneself, etc. and "a member of a learned society or professional organization" (American Heritage Dictionary) or "a member of any of certain learned societies" (Random House Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary), so this could be used as a pun, considering the ambiguity of the source text.
