What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote 3D character work anywhere in the world, including freelance, contract, or flexible-hour opportunities. I want to contribute across modeling, texturing, grooming, lighting, and rendering.

I modeled a complete golden eagle for Gaspésie National Parks, taking it from ZBrush sculpt to final Karma render. With almost no feather reference available, I contacted industry artists and taught myself feather grooming in Houdini.

I work across the full character pipeline: modeling, high-detail sculpting, retopology, UVs, PBR texturing, grooming, lighting, and rendering. My projects include solo short-film production and custom 3D visualization assets for a dental-office client under precise medical constraints.

During a third-year team short film, I modeled, textured, and groomed characters against fixed production deadlines. I’m a 3D Animation graduate from Cégep de Matane and developed a particular focus on character modeling.

I left Réunion Island at 18 to study 3D in Canada, and character sculpting is the craft I chose to pursue. When I’m missing a technique, I teach it to myself.
