What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role creating environment and prop assets using Unreal Engine, with opportunities to work on games or AR, grow technical skills, and contribute within iterative production pipelines.

Hello, my name is Sven.

I am a nerd 3D artist with a strong preference in creating environment art and props in both Unreal Engine and Unity, while having more skill in Unreal Engine. I am familiar with the full asset pipeline for game engines and have 3 years experience in the industry.

I have worked on several VR and AR projects and games for the Unity game engine.

Shipped projects I worked on: VR Cooking simulator, VR Tourist project, VR Tower survival game, AR (Augmented Reality) web shops and others. My personal projects were Unreal Engine projects.

I also have excellent communication skills and learn quickly.

I have played many video games in my lifetime and this helped me develop my visual composition sense of environments and props.

My skills

- Blender

- Substance Painter

- Substance Designer

- Adobe Photoshop

- ZBrush

- Adobe Illustrator

- SpeedTree

- Marmoset Toolbag

I hope to work in a friendly environment where people support each other and the boss is not sitting in a throne above the rest of the people.
