Diego Caicedo

Built fully textured, near-photoreal environments and set dressing across multiple sequences for an animated feature film, owning assets from blockout to final polish.

Defined the 3D visual style from real Johannesburg architecture and led a distributed art team to a consistent, delivered result through structured reviews.

Modeled, UV-mapped, textured, and optimized a modular kit of 20–30 environment assets in Unity, configuring LODs and collisions against performance budgets. Assembled 3–5 explorable playable areas from the kit, blockout to final integration.

Modeled and textured environments and props with full PBR pipelines for Unity; assembled PvP and PvE levels alongside the level design team.

Owned the full asset pipeline end-to-end to mobile performance standards: modeling, texturing, optimization, and engine integration within a proprietary workflow. Kept assets inside texture-memory and geometry budgets for low-end devices without losing the quality bar.

Created character and environment concepts from narrative briefs for an animated trailer.

Commissioned 3D, concept, and design work delivered to client briefs on tight timelines; created the award-winning Ninka Beer product design end-to-end.

Modeled a complete photorealistic 3D interior at accurate spatial scale for a national museum exhibition.

Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design from Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano, Bogotá, Colombia, from 2017 to 2022.
