Illia Avdieiev
3D Hard-surface artist

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Results-driven 3D Hard-Surface Artist with 1 year of commercial experience specializing in the production of
highly optimized, game-ready props, machinery, and technical assets for Unity and Unreal Engine pipelines.
Possessing a strong technical foundation complemented by academic engineering background, excelling in high-
resolution SubD modeling, efficient retopology, artifact-free baking, and PBR texturing. Proven track record of
collaborating with technical artists and engineers to drastically reduce memory footprints, successfully achieving a
30% decrease in texture memory utilization while maintaining strict AAA visual fidelity standards.

WORK EXPERIENCE

3D HARD-SURFACE ARTIST Dec 2025 — Present
Icarus Alpha Inc.

• Engineered 10+ highly detailed, optimized hard-surface game assets, complex machinery, and environmental
elements, for seamless integration into game environments, strictly adhering to project polycount budgets and art
direction.
• Spearheaded rendering performance optimization initiatives, achieving a ~30% reduction in average texture
memory utilization across assets through the strategic implementation of modular trim sheets, overlapping UV
mapping, and efficient texture packing.
• Decreased draw calls by ~25% within real-time environments

• Executed end-to-end asset production pipelines, managing everything from block-out and high-resolution modeling
to manual retopology, efficient UV unwrapping (maximizing texel density), and artifact-free map baking in
Substance 3D Painter.

EDUCATION

BACHELOR'S DEGREE, PUBLISHING AND PRINTING Sep 2023 - Present
Kharkiv National University of Radioelectronics Kharkiv, Ukraine

• Leveraged technical and engineering coursework to develop a systematic approach to procedural workflows,
structural logic of mechanisms, and technical problem-solving applicable to complex 3D asset creation.
