★ BIO:
3D Game generalist with ten years of experience in a wide range of areas, styles and
technical constraints, among which 3D digital asset creation, post-production and
character animation, and with practical knowledge of project and team management.
★ STRENGTHS:
• High and low polygon modeling to in-game model preparation, next-gen character and asset modeling and profound understanding of the technology and theory behind 3D geometry topology for games;
• Animation: game animation cycles, facial animation/motion capture, knowledge of mel-scripting,
creating and transferring animation between skeletons rigs, (non destructive) complex but easy to use rigs for skeletal meshes;
• Texturing: next-gen texturing with various maps, creating tiling or unique textures for characters and assets, photo, procedural & next-gen PBR texturing. Heavy user of Allegorithmic Substance dynamic node-based texturing. Unwrapping magician.
• Management: Agile, Scrum, time & project planning experience, used to leading small teams of 3D artists, realized pipelines for different disciplines;
• Great team player, outstanding communicator and motivator;
• Very good balance between artistic and technical abilities;
• Always learning new things to improve and to gain new skills;
