WORK EXPERIENCE
Freelance

3D Hard Surface & Prop Artist 02/2025 - present

Full Asset Pipeline Management: Managed the end-to-end creation worklow of high-
quality 3D props and weapons, from gathering references and drafting blockouts to inal
texturing and engine integration.

Hard-Surface Modeling: Created clean high-poly models utilizing sub-d and boolean
worklows (with basic ZBrush polishing for edges/damage) and produced highly
optimized low-poly geometry tailored for real-time performance
UV Optimization & Baking: Performed professional UV unwrapping and packing via
RizomUV to maximize texel density. Successfully baked clean, artifact-free maps
(Normal, AO, Curvature, etc.) in Marmoset Toolbag.
PBR Texturing: Developed complex, realistic materials in Substance 3D Painter (metals,
polymers, wood, bakelite). Expertly applied layers of wear, scratches, and grime to give
assets a storytelling edge and realistic wear-and-tear
