Senior 3D Artist | Photogrammetry Specialist & Technical Pipeline Lead Hello! I am a senior 3D artist and technical pipeline lead with over a decade of hands-on experience in high-end 3D asset creation, photogrammetry processing, and advanced VFX/game pipelines. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with industry pioneers—including training under Lee Perry-Smith (Infinite Realities) on cutting-edge facial scan processing and multi-expression digital doubles (e.g., 16-expression sets for Julia Stiles), and working closely with photogrammetry expert Vlad Kuzmin with early access to RealityCapture testing builds. Key Production Highlights & Enterprise Experience: R&D & High-End Human Scans (Japan / CHP & CyberAgent Group): Processed and cleaned up 400+ high-resolution body and facial scans, integrating multi-displacement maps onto MetaHuman-based topologies with deep knowledge of ethnic facial nuances (Asian vs. European features). Digital Doubles & Facial R&D (IR / Infinite Realities & Scanlab): Delivered complex multi-expression digital doubles, worked extensively with Wrap4D, and optimized assets for full-color 3D printing and international VFX pipelines. VFX Asset Re-creation & CAD-to-Quad (Frame48): Recreated ultra-detailed physical props (down to individual threads) and built rapid automated methods to convert messy, multi-polygon CAD data into clean, animation-ready quad topologies. Advanced Scan & Color Pipelines (The Scan Track): Handled raw photogrammetry data using camera positions, undistorted references, ACES color profiles, and advanced texturing in MARI. Workflow Automation: Leveraging custom Python and batch scripting to automate repetitive tasks, multi-LOD generation, and data formatting. Core Technical Stack: Software: ZBrush, Blender, Maya, MARI, Substance 3D Suite, RealityCapture, Metashape, Wrap4D, R3DS Wrap, 3ds Max, Unity, Unreal Engine. Specialties: High-poly to low-poly optimization, CAD-to-Quad cleanup, complex retopology, anatomical sculpting, digital human pipelines, and custom pipeline automation.
