Senior 3D Modeler

Blackbirdsims, Canada (Remote)

Developed high-quality 3D characters and

environments using ZBrush, Maya, and Blender,

ensuring alignment with artistic direction and

technical constraints (e.g., low-poly optimization, UV unwrapping).

Produced PBR textures in Substance Painter and

Photoshop, achieving photorealistic surface details for characters, weapons, and environmental assets. Collaborated with art directors and game designers to translate 2D concept art into 3D models,

maintaining consistency with narrative and visual

themes.

Integrated 3D assets into Unity and Unreal Engine, adhering to platform-specific technical requirements

(e.g., LODs, texture compression).

Mentored junior artists in best practices for topology optimization, UV mapping, and shader

implementation.

I ran reviews of character art results and applied performance optimizations to improve the game's

efficiency and maintainability.

3D Artist

SciePro GmbH, Zum Exerzierhaus 15 Germany (Remote) Created over 200 3D anatomical characters in

SciePro.

Designed and sculpted highly detailed 3D human

anatomy models (muscles, skeleton, organs) using

ZBrush, Maya, and Substance Painter, collaborating with medical professionals to ensure scientific

accuracy.

Worked with medical illustrators and biologists to transform complex anatomical concepts into visually appealing 3D assets for interactive platforms.

Created UV-unwrapped and texture-optimized

models compatible with real-time rendering engines

(Unity/Unreal Engine) for AR/VR applications,

streamlining the feedback loop.

Established template workflows for muscle fiber

detailing, skin shaders, and joint articulation,

reducing production time for high-priority customer requests by 35%.

Integrated customer-specific branding (e.g. color

schemes, labeling systems) while maintaining

anatomical accuracy, achieving 98% customer

satisfaction.
