A set of skills alone doesn’t fully capture who I am or what I consider my greatest asset.
I am a self-motivated, self-taught artist who is deeply passionate about 3D creation. This craft is not just what I do; it’s part of my identity. My drive to develop, learn, and improve each day fuels my journey to become the best possible version of myself.
I thrive in environments where I can contribute ideas and collaborate to develop solutions as part of a team.
Here’s a snapshot of my approach to work:
For the past few years, I’ve been working part-time as a freelancer, specializing in CG landscapes and terrain creation using tools like WorldMachine, Geoglyph2, and Gaea. I create terrains for both offline and real-time renderers, including game engines.
My process typically starts with laying out a specific terrain layout (fully procedural, but with a controlled approach). From there, I meticulously add numerous hand-crafted details to avoid uniformity and break up repetitive patterns. This hands-on fine-tuning helps bring the terrain to life. I also handle texturing, including base color maps for terrain as well as detailed textures used with splat maps.
For texturing in general, I work primarily in Substance Painter and Substance Designer, following a PBR workflow. This includes texture baking and UV unwrapping in RizomUV as well.
My style is focused on realism rather than stylization. I often rely on real-world references, including scanned textures, photos, and procedural techniques that I create myself, ensuring that the textures match the mood and visual goals I want to achieve. I also integrate Megascans surfaces when appropriate.
In addition to my expertise in terrain and texturing, I have foundational skills in modeling and sculpting with tools like MAYA, MODO, Blender, and ZBrushCore. On the CAD side, I possess advanced proficiency in AutoCAD Map3D and CAD visualization, including rendering products from CAD data using KeyShot.
I hope this gives you a clearer picture of my approach and work. Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
