Blender 3D Generalist

Senior 3D Generalist & Pipeline TD | 15+ Years Blender Expert With nearly 20 years of experience in the 3D world, using Blender since 2006 and directing my own Animation Studio. I am a Senior 3D Generalist who understands how is the workflow in a demanding production environment. Whether you need a fully rigged and animated character, a photorealistic medical device, or a game-ready asset, I manage the end-to-end pipeline. My Core Competencies: End-to-End 3D Production: Precise modeling (hard-surface and organic), UV unwrapping, texturing, and polished animation for characters, medical devices, and mechanical products. LookDev & Lighting: Photorealistic shading, complex material logic and premium studio lighting setups. Advanced Rigging & Technical Art: Complex mechanical joints, anatomically correct soft-tissue deformation (using Drivers and Shape Keys), and procedural generation using Geometry Nodes. Pipeline & Engine Hand-offs: Ensuring scale, rotation, and hierarchy when exporting assets to real-time engines like Unity and Godot. Python Tooling & Automation: Developing OpenStudioHub, so pipelines speed up repetitive studio workflows. I deliver clean, production-ready files that integrate seamlessly into your project. Whether you need a creative artist to animate a scene or a technical director to fix a broken pipeline, I can handle it. Let’s connect and bring your project to life.
