Jesse Chen
@jessechen
I create detailed real-time 3D models, environments, textures, and product visualizations.
What I'm looking for
I create detailed 3D models, environments, textures, materials, and real-time assets across the full 3D production pipeline.
For my AKAI Piano senior capstone project, I built a hard-surface electronic piano from real-world references, taking it from reference analysis and modeling through UV mapping, PBR texturing, lighting, rendering, and final presentation.
I also developed a Prison Room Environment cinematic project, assembling hard-surface props and environmental assets while using lighting and composition to create atmosphere, depth, and visual storytelling.
I work with Autodesk Maya, Blender, ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter, Unreal Engine, Unity, and Adobe creative tools, and I bring attention to detail, visual accuracy, and iterative problem-solving to each asset.
