Hello! I’m a Senior 3D Character Artist with 8+ years of experience in full-cycle character creation for games, including AAA production. Specialized in high-end character sculpting, game-ready topology, UVs, baking, PBR texturing, and real-time integration in Unreal Engine. I have strong understanding of modern character workflows (ZBrush → Blender/Maya/Marmoset toolbag → Substance Painter → Unreal Engine), optimization for performance, LODs, and technical requirements for animation/rigging. Comfortable collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and taking ownership of character pipelines, quality standards, and mentoring.
