About

I’m Diego Fernando Lasso Caicedo, a senior 3D artist and creative director specializing in real-time environments for cinematic storytelling. I translate early-stage concepts into high-end visuals using Unreal Engine, Blender, and Substance Painter, and I actively integrate AI-driven workflows like Comfy UI, Claude, and ChatGPT to accelerate concepting and pre-production timelines.

With 8+ years of delivering immersive visuals for complex digital projects, I lead cross-disciplinary teams across 3D, UI/UX, and engineering, optimize asset pipelines for speed and consistency, and mentor emerging artists. I’m passionate about creating compelling narratives and scalable production workflows that push the boundaries of real-time visualization.
