3D Animator & Visual Artist | Character & Product Animation

I create high-quality 3D animation that brings characters, products, and ideas to life (without breaking timelines 😄). I’m a professional 3D animator and visual artist with 9+ years of experience crafting character animation, product animation videos, and cinematic 3D visuals for brands, startups, agencies, and interactive projects. Alongside animation, I also work with Unity and Unreal Engine, which means I can deliver game-ready assets and real-time animation when a project needs more than just a rendered video. 🎥 3D Animation Services 🧍 Character Animation ‣ Stylized & realistic character animation ‣ Rigging, animation cleanup & facial animation ‣ Game-ready and cinematic animation ‣ Optimized for real-time engines when needed 📦 Product Animation ‣ 3D product animation for ads, websites & campaigns ‣ Exploded views & feature demonstrations ‣ Camera animation, lighting & rendering ‣ Marketing-ready visuals (and yes, they look good on landing pages) 🧱 3D Modeling & Rendering ‣ Character & hard-surface modeling ‣ Clean topology and optimized meshes ‣ PBR texturing & materials ‣ High-quality rendering for video and real-time use 🎮 Game Design & Real-Time Development (Unity / Unreal) ‣ Game-ready characters, environments & props ‣ Animation integration in Unity & Unreal Engine ‣ Gameplay mechanics & interactive systems ‣ Real-time lighting, cameras & performance optimization Translation: your assets won’t just look good they’ll actually work in-engine 🚀 🧰 Tools & Workflow Blender | Maya | 3ds Max | Substance Painter | After Effects | Photoshop Unity | Unreal Engine | C# | Real-time animation pipelines ⭐ Why Clients Choose Me ✔ Animation-first mindset (not “I also animate” energy) ✔ Full-pipeline delivery — no back-and-forth with multiple freelancers ✔ Clean motion, optimized assets & polished visuals ✔ Clear communication, realistic timelines, zero surprises ✔ Experience across marketing, entertainment & interactive media
