Mathis Balmayer

Artist specializing in **modeling**, **lookdev**, and **visual effects**. Trained in 3D and then VFX, I work on projects focused on advertising, digital content, and motion design.

I place particular importance on aesthetics, artistic consistency, and the ability to quickly produce solid images.

I have created FOOH content (12 videos for a Nina Ricci campaign), as well as optimized assets for real-time projects. I can adapt to various constraints: tracking, realistic integration, precise modeling, PBR texturing, coherent lighting, final rendering.

3D Modeling: creation of hard-surface assets (environments, accessories, props)

Look dev & shading: UV mapping, high-quality textures, creation of credible materials (metal, fabric, stone, glass…)

Lighting & rendering: lighting setup, photorealistic rendering, creation of optimized final images

Visual Effects (VFX): simulations & procedural modeling, particles, Houdini

Tracking / Matchmove: integration of 3D elements into filmed shots, credible insertion

Compositing: assembly of 3D + live-action footage, light retouching, color correction

AI Innovation: exploration and integration of generative AI tools into creative pipelines (visual concept, rapid iterations, pre-production, modeling bases)

Produce clean, readable, and usable images, while respecting technical constraints and deadlines.
