What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create polished, production-ready 3D assets across the full pipeline, from modeling and texturing through optimization for real-time engines, rendering, and physical production.

At Dexsoft Games, I owned the complete 3D asset pipeline as the sole 3D artist, creating game-ready weapons, sci-fi crates, modular environments, bunkers, generators, characters, vegetation, and vehicles.

I take assets from high-poly sculpting and modeling through UV mapping, baking, PBR texturing, and optimization for Unreal Engine and Unity. I work primarily in Blender and Adobe Substance Painter while maintaining consistent visual quality across deliverables.

Alongside studio work, I create freelance 3D design, graphics, video, projection mapping, and physical products. My work received four consecutive IAB Mixx Awards from 2021 through 2024 across Design, Video Editing, and 3D Design.
