3D Render Artist

Oakley • Full time

Aug 2025 - Apr 2026 • 8 mos

As a 3D Render Artist, I was responsible for the modeling and management of geometries for prescription glasses and sunglasses, aimed at creating photorealistic renders for advertising spots and websites. Starting from the analysis of technical drawings, organized in PureRef as reference guidelines, I worked in 3ds Max to build the models, also developing dedicated materials in Substance Designer, which were then applied in the engine and rendered using V-Ray. This experience allowed me to develop strong self-management skills within an established, complex workflow, adhering strictly to the guidelines and quality standards required by a multinational company like Luxottica, and contributing to the timely meeting of deadlines set by high-end brands with which the company collaborates.

COMPANY IS EVENT HORIZON (NOT HORIZON DIGITAL AGENCY). I have managed and designed mobile projects in the role of 3D Environment Artist, using Maya, Substance Painter, and Unity as the primary tools in the pipeline. At various stages of the projects, I was also involved in sculpting in ZBrush, with a particular focus on retopology and optimization to ensure high performance on mobile hardware. In my last two projects, I had the opportunity to lead a small team of 3D artists (2 people), ensuring adherence to the guidelines provided by the leads and maintaining high-quality standards throughout the entire production workflow.
