PLANET OF THE APES - THE MINIATURES BOARDGAME

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.

Although the game has not been released yet, at the time 20th Century Fox was acquired by Disney, all the work I completed had been validated and copyrighted by the company. I am pleased to have the right to share it, at least partially, in my portfolio. Here are some of the miniatures that have been painted and displayed at game conventions since the beginning of this production around 2018.

Packshots & Design Marketing – 2025

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

Sonic Super Teams

I created all the miniatures for this Sonic tabletop game, released in Europe, using 3D sculpting and printing technologies, combined with my traditional art and molding skills. I also completed the retopology of the meshes for these 8 characters and handled the texturing to support the teaser.

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.

I created the miniatures for this released game based on the specifications I was provided.

Mitch Pigs Demo

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.

I have a strong affinity for buggy cars, so I created this buggy from scratch using various reference pictures of this type of vehicle. I used Blender for all the polygon modeling and UV mapping processes, and I utilized Substance 3D for baking the input maps and texturing. Additionally, I used ZBrush to sculpt parts with higher levels of detail to incorporate into the normal map. I created the number plate graphics in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. I also experimented with some HDR environment maps and performed 3D rendering using Iray. My goal was to replicate the sparkling blue paint of the reference cars I used.

Here is a collectible I created from scratch based on my own concept art and love for this character, using ZBrush. Dragon Ball Z is one of my favorite childhood anime series, and I had a great time sculpting this piece in 2014; it’s one of my older works. I remember struggling at that time to create the cloud in 3D because there were only 2D references available, and there weren't many merchandise items or collectibles of Son Goku molded back then.

Blue Moon Cristal

I created this crystal while working for Studio XP, a school focused on video game development for students aged 8 to 20. My role involved creating several chapters to update the online class content for the school, and this crystal was one of the courses I developed. Studio XP uses free and open-source software such as Blender, Krita, and Unity. After completing my assignment for Studio XP, I decided to refine the crystal further and develop an entirely new course using Unreal Engine 5 instead of Unity, aiming to incorporate some impressive UE techniques to teach the students.

Flash Light 1950

Here is a flashlight I created from scratch, based on the reference picture shown at the bottom of this page. I enjoy creating low-poly assets and making them look realistic in terms of shape, texture, and overall appearance. I wanted to explore some techniques in Substance 3D, such as the anchor point functions and others. I designed the seahorse graphic and used it in the height channel to stay close to the reference while creating a different logo. For all the modeling, I primarily used ZBrush, specifically the ZModeler brush, along with Substance 3D.
