Andrés Poveda

Worked on stylized environments for Games, VR experiences and Realtime projects using Unreal Engine and Unity. Focused on modular environments, vegetation, rock sculpting and realtime optimization for stylized productions. Built complete environments from blockout to final polish, handling lighting, materials, shaders and in-engine setup. Worked under production constraints including VR performance limits, scalability requirements and tight deadlines. Worked closely with art directors, lead artists, programmers and technical artists across different realtime productions. Some of the companies/projects I've worked with: Onirica VR (Repsol, Grifols, Augmentropolys, Onirica VR Metaverse) 3D Digital Venue (Broadway theaters) Stroke 114 (The Black Stage) Dual R Studios (Environment for selling on marketplaces) Ramezware SL (Boardquest: Tales of Liria) KuzuGaming (Roblox Maps) Vsquad (Environment Art Talk) Hivemind (Jakeline's Forge selling on marketplaces) Hivemind (Wayfinder style dungeon for selling on marketplaces)

Creating Realistic and Stylized PBR Materials with Substance Painter and Photoshop. Creating Rigging and Animations with Blender. I was working with other departments such as design and programming. With excellent communication for better agility work. Meetings with Lead Artist, Proyect Manager and other Teamworkers.

Study of the Software and Workflow necessary for the development of Professional Projects. Zbrush, Blender / Maya, Substance Painter, 3D Coat, Photoshop, and Marmoset. Process of generating Assets from High poly to Low poly (Creating normal maps, re-topology, optimized UVs unwrapping, etc.). Creating PBR Materials and HandPainted Textures. Collaborative projects (5) in groups of about 6 people to simulate the real experience in a videogame studio; Practicing a professional pipeline and developing soft skills such as teamwork, leadership, and communication skills. During these studies, I participated in a Game Jam where my team and I won the Best Game award and the Best Art award. I also participated in a 3D Art competition where I came in the first place.
