Role: 3D Artist – Modeling, Texturing, Lighting, Rendering Project Scope: Multi-Client Work (2024–2025)
Overview
This body of work showcases a diverse range of 3D rendering projects, including product visualization, stylized assets, environment design, and branded packaging. Each piece demonstrates technical versatility and a strong eye for aesthetics, built entirely using Blender and Substance Painter.
Key Highlights
Product Renders: Created high-fidelity cosmetic and lifestyle product shots, with clean hard-surface modeling in Blender and detailed material definition in Substance Painter. Used HDRI lighting and Cycles to achieve a studio-quality finish.
Stylized Assets: Designed and textured playful, illustrative 3D props for use in creative branding and motion graphics. Focused on hand-painted textures and exaggerated proportions to convey personality and mood.
Environment & Set Design: Built minimal 3D environments and modular sets to frame products or support narrative content. Leveraged Blender’s geometry nodes and asset libraries for quick iteration.
Packaging Concepts: Used layered texturing in Substance Painter to mimic various print effects (e.g. embossing, foil, matte/gloss).
Approach & Style
Each render blends technical execution with visual storytelling. I prioritize detail, material realism, and lighting to create images that are both clean and character-rich suitable for portfolio, social media, or client-facing decks.
