Hi, I’m Shahin Ghahremani, a Gameplay Animator, 3D Rigger, and Technical Artist with 12 years of industry experience. I’ve shipped four game titles—Bake ‘n Switch, Torchlight 3, Nightstream, and MythWalker—and I specialize in expressive character performance, robust rigs, and optimized skinning for games from mobile to PC. I also automate portions of the animation pipeline with MEL and Python to speed up production while preserving quality.
Based in Los Angeles, I collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to implement lively in-game animation and cinematic sequences. I’m passionate about pushing animation quality, responsive character movement, and scalable pipelines, and I mentor junior riggers and artists to help them grow in rigging, asset creation, and tooling.
The Bake ‘n Switch game is a single-player, co-op, PvP, and TvT strategy puzzle game for PC (Steam) and the Nintendo Switch where 1-4 Bakers work to catch, merge, and bake adorable living Dough creatures to satiate the Guardians of their worlds.
MythWalker™ is a mobile geolocation fantasy RPG that explores Earth’s parallel world, Mytherra. The mystical Child guides players through an overworld traversal system, using real locations to tell the stories of Earth’s myths and legends. With narrative-driven quests tied to an intriguing storyline, a cast of magical and memorable characters, a deep progression system, and robust multiplayer mode, MythWalker will connect players worldwide through meaningful global gameplay.
