Game Artist, looking to specialise in the creation of 3D Prop/Environment/Weapons/Hard Surface/VFX (realtime).

Able to work with Blender, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Unity and Unreal Engine. Open and eager to learn other software like Maya, 3DS Max, 3DCoat, ZBrush, Houdini, etc.

James is an open-minded individual who is always striving to improve himself, both in his career and personal lifestyle. In his work, he is always doing his best to be conscientious and forward-thinking. He is able to deliver what is expected of him without requiring overt supervision, but he is also not afraid to ask questions on areas he is unfamiliar with.

In his free time, James enjoys reading, learning new languages, playing video games and working on self-practice to further improve his experience with 3D creation software.

Recently, James completed an internship stint with WIR Group in Jakarta, Indonesia, where he worked on creating 3D models, textures and animations, as well as programming for various systems and mini-applications for their upcoming metaverse project Nusameta.

A simple 3D animated scene I had to create for a school project, with the theme 'Home', which I interpreted to mean my ideal home/room. All models in the scene were done in Blender and textured in Substance Painter. Final render was done using Blender Cycles.
Personal gunlance weapon design inspired by Monster Hunter. Modelled and rendered in Blender (Cycles), and textured in Substance Painter.

Low-poly (~3.5k tris) 3D Scifi Jetpack Asset I created for WIR Group during my period of internship with them. Modelled in Blender, textured in Substance Painter. Particle effects were done in Unity using a combination of Unity Particle System and Unity VFX Graph.
Self-practice with Unity VFX Graph and Unity Shader Graph. Only VFX is my work here, character model and animations were imported from Mixamo for convenience.
