From 3D design to the final image
In 2025, I had the opportunity to create the marketing visuals and 3D assets for three major board games: Jungle Speed, Duplik, and Perudo.
My role covered both the production of promotional packshots as well as the design and modeling of elements intended for manufacturing.
Jungle Speed – Limited Edition, A Totem Reimagined for a Special Release
For Jungle Speed, I worked on both the creation of promotional visuals and the design of the totem itself.
👉 This mission went beyond visual marketing and also contributed to the making of the physical object. As a fan of Nintendo, the Donkey Kong series, and Jungle Speed, I was especially delighted to bring my personal touch to this iconic game. As shown in the videos below, on the left is the model originally provided by production, and on the right is my sculpting work for mass production, featuring a higher level of detail.​​​​​​​
For the marketing visuals, I started from the high-definition 3D model I had designed for the physical object. I then optimized it to create lighter versions suitable for rendering, while keeping all the key details. This allowed me to generate high-quality textures and achieve realistic PBR renders.
Below are some of the images I created for packaging, online presentation, and other promotional materials.

Duplik: the new editions
For Duplik: the new editions, I produced the marketing renders used for communication.
👉 The process included recreating and texturing all the game elements in 3D, with great attention to realism to remain faithful to the physical game. I then set up the 3D scene with lighting and rendering, producing intermediate outputs (ambient occlusion, texture passes) leading up to the final result.
Below is an example showcasing the texturing, layout, and rendering work during the production phase.
Shown below are examples of the final renders I produced.

Perudo
Below is an image provided by the production team showing the packaging visuals that needed improvement.​​​​​​​
The red circles highlight the elements whose renders required enhancement to achieve a high-quality marketing image.
My task was to faithfully recreate the cups and dice in 3D, identical to the physical game. As shown in the video below, the left side displays the original cup, while the right side shows the improved version I created.
The same process applies to the dice, demonstrated in the following video. After modeling the 3D elements, I created a topology suitable for PBR texturing, then proceeded with 3D scene setup, lighting, and rendering.
Below are examples of the 3D renderings I produced, which closely match the final appearance on the game boxes.

Conclusion
These three projects highlight my skills in 3D modeling, PBR texturing, and high-quality marketing renders, all brought together to elevate the visual appeal of board games.

Mario
2023
Mario is definitely one of my lifelong favorite characters, and I'm excited to present my work on him here. This includes high-definition sculpting and low-definition retopology using ZBrush. The blue and orange version shown is the HD model exported from ZBrush, which I rendered in KeyShot. The low-definition retopology is presented here as the final rendering, textured in Substance 3D and rendered in Iray.
PLANET OF THE APES - THE MINIATURES BOARDGAME
2023
I created all the miniatures, including the apes and soldiers, for this game, as well as many of the 2D graphics. The project is still in production and is expected to hit shelves in June 2025. All the characters were designed based on my observations from repeatedly binge-watching the movies, as well as the references provided to me by 20th Century Fox. The turntables created by Weta Digital were especially helpful in supporting my 3D conception and adaptation of the film characters into small tabletop game pieces.
Lapin cretin
2023
Here is the Lapin Crétin I created based on the famous Ubisoft game character, which I like very much! I wanted to reproduce Ubisoft's techniques and art style to create another course for the Art and 3D class I teach. This presentation showcases the full process: I used ZBrush for sculpting, retopology, and UV mapping; texturing in Substance 3D; rigging and skinning in Blender; and finally, I created a short animated sequence in Unreal Engine 5, incorporating some post-processing effects to enhance the clip's appeal. I also handled the video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, adding the original soundtrack from the Raving Rabbids that I downloaded
Mitch Pigs Demo
2023
Here is a short demo I created from scratch to explore the new update of Unreal Engine 5. My goal was to push the boundaries of my technical knowledge by utilizing Lumen for lighting, along with many other software tools I generally use for video games and real-time rendering. I sculpted the pigs based on a concept art piece I discovered while watching the Instagram artist Mitch Leeuwe. I really enjoy his overall cartoon style, which reminds me of the Preston Blair animation books that I’m particularly fond of. This inspiration led me to create a 3D version of this cute little pig.
Carpe Diem
2023
I created this short demo from scratch, using the software I generally use for video games and real-time rendering. I set up a composition with lighting and cameras, and then used the sequencer in Unreal Engine 5 to create a cinematic rendering with path tracing.
Ratapolis
2023
I created the miniatures for this released game based on the specifications I was provided.
Gramophone
2023
I created this gramophone using Houdini SideFX, as I wanted to explore Houdini's techniques for low poly modeling with nodes, in contrast to the 3D polygon modeling in Blender or Maya that I typically use. This was during my time learning procedural techniques in Houdini. I then proceeded with unwrapping the UVs, also in Houdini, and used Substance 3D for baking the input maps, such as normal maps, curvature, ambient occlusion, etc., and for texturing. Finally, I utilized Marmoset Toolbag for real-time rendering and MViewer, which I should embed here, as well as Adobe Premiere Pro for the Ken Burns presentation and turntable. I chose the delightful "Petite Fleur" music by the soloist and composer Sidney Bechet.
Battle Zone
2023
Here are some miniatures I created based on my concept art for the board game Battle Zone. I sculpted them in ZBrush, using the same techniques employed by Avalanche Software for the creation of the Disney Infinity figures, which have always been a great inspiration for me in terms of design and game concepts. I also used KeyShot for the 3D rendering. Additionally, I designed some trading cards for the game, as shown.
Orc
2024
I designed and created this figurine, along with all its accessories, using Maxon One and Substance 3D. Inspired by the World of Warcraft universe and its creatures, I aimed to create a 1/6 scale 3D-printed character of an Orc. Approaching morphology is always a significant challenge. I enjoy working on both stylized characters and props as well as more semi-realistic and detail-oriented projects, like this one I’ve just completed.
