Son Goku

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

I designed the central piece of the game, the metal-cast medallion, based on the specifications I received and my own concept art. I utilized 3D sculpting and printing technologies, along with my traditional art and molding skills. Additionally, I designed the back of the cards and the token illustrations to match the medallion.

I sculpted this version of Link from Link's Awakening in ZBrush, using a collectible as my reference. As an art and 3D teacher, I create numerous tutorials and courses, and this is one example. I always choose subjects or characters that I think will engage my students, as I believe it's important for them to enjoy the learning process in my classes. I chose Link because he has a simple overall shape while also allowing for a mix of organic sculpting and hard surface modeling, making it an excellent way to introduce ZModeler techniques. During classes, I clearly explain and demonstrate the following key steps in the 3D character creation process using a video projector: model sheet creation, sculpting, retopology, UV unwrapping, texturing, setup, and animation (for simplicity, I used Mixamo) as well as 3D rendering.

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.

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.
