I focus mostly on 3D Environment Art and 3D Prop Making. I do Level Design too. [Hobbyist-level] Made some game mods too in the past. (Since around 2007 or so). Thanks for your visit!

What I enjoy doing the most:
3D Prop making for environments or building environments [Modeling, UV Unwrapping, Material Setup, Naming_Conventions, Texturing, Baking, etc.] and Sculpting Props [High Poly]. I also enjoy doing some level design too [different to environments area]. I have a lot of fun doing these :)

PREFERRED TOOLS, most recent usage: Blender and Substance Painter and sometimes Substance Designer

Used in the past, stopped using by around mid-2021: 3dsMax [around 2010 to 2019 from time-to-time hobby, heavy usage 2019 to 2021], Maya [2020-2021 – Only used for retopology]. Zbrush [2016 or so from time to time until 2019. Heavy usage 2019 to 2021]. Marmoset Toolbags [2020 or so to 2021]. Some other tools/editors too. I have a graphic design background [academic] so I know how to use some of the adobe suite too [basic].

PREFERRED ENGINE, most recent usage: Unreal Engine 4 & 5 & Roblox Studio

On the side, I make projects and games on the Roblox Studio platform with my brother which is a programmer. Our development group is called Catto Mustacho, we already published some small Roblox games in there. I am also able to build Places/Maps/Levels, 3D Asset Creation [3D generalist but I focus more on props and environments] and more. Some of my Roblox work is posted in my DeviantArt if interested.

Responsibilities and tasks:
I self-manage myself in order to produce 3D assets following a PBR workflow. I work at my own pace. I produce my assets, from the pre-production/planning phase all the way to release/post-production the same in many online 3D marketplace pages plus I self-promote the same in social media platforms.

In conjunction with my 3D modeling skills, texturing and asset making + management in multiple game engines [if offered], I often need to make my own promotional contents such as renders or videos in order to promote myself and my products in social media online.
