Creative 3D artist specializing in environment and asset creation.
NetherlandsWhat I'm looking for
As an accomplished 3D artist with over five years of experience, I have honed my skills in creating immersive environments and assets for various gaming projects. My role as Art Lead at Mechamania allowed me to direct the art vision and produce high-quality hard-surface models and desert environments, showcasing my ability to blend creativity with technical expertise.
Previously, I contributed to the development of the game Exodus Burned at PWXR Studio, where I ensured the art style remained consistent throughout the project. My experience also includes leading the environment art for the unreleased game Defend Your Friend, where I created modular assets and optimized them for Unreal Engine. My educational background in Creative Media and Game Technologies further solidified my foundation in programming, design, and 3D environment art.
