3D Senior environment / Lighting Artist

As a Senior 3D Environment Artist, my role was to support the talented team through multiple complex levels during a five-month freelance mission. I was truly honored to contribute significantly to the Level Art and the intricate lighting process across several stages, ensuring that each element was visually compelling. Additionally, I had the opportunity to assist in the development of the lighting baking pipeline workflow, enhancing overall efficiency. Here, we will focus specifically on THE Lvl 03: HOT OVENS! , which presented unique challenges and creative opportunities.
