Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I have 20 years of experience as a generalist 3D computer graphics artist. My skills can be summarized in two main areas:

2D and 3D Computer Graphics

3D modeling, design, animation, illustration, procedural generation, rendering, and concept art, both in pre-rendered and real-time (video games, XR).

3D Printing Modeling

Original designs (sci-fi, landscapes), custom designs (spaceships, wargames), now design and consulting for manufacturing with FDM (plastic filament) and SLA (resin) printers, soon on-demand printing.

I am particularly proficient in the technical aspects of 3D modeling (procedural modeling, terrains, sculpting, retopology), and I develop tools based on Blender's Geometry Nodes, useful for both computer graphics and 3D printing. I can offer unique computational design services based on this procedural approach.

My clients include various players in the entertainment industry (3D animations for live shows, XR), art installations (3D animations for previews, 3D sculpting for printing), publishers (art and sci-fi illustrations), and various companies.

I can work as a team member or as an independent consultant. Living in France, I have also worked in the UK and China, often in English. I speak, read, and write English fluently.

Software:

Blender, Photoshop, Gaea, Stable Diffusion, chainner, Natron, Nuke, Maya

What I don't do:

Industrial CAD designs for 3D printing. Polygons only, no parametric models.

No game-ready assets for real-time 3D. I can design and model assets or entire environments, but they will need to be finalized (optimization, PBR shading) by a specialized tech artist.
