Hi! I'm Rachel Montero. I’ve been working as a 3D Artist and Animator for over a decade on both hobbyist and professional projects. My most recent work appears in the game Amygdala: Prelude. From 2021 to 2024, I worked on Phantom Fury with Slipgate Ironworks. As an animator of many NPCs, I worked with the team to build rigs in Blender that were compatible with the Unreal Engine animation tools, and later used Maya and FaceFX to polish the work of other animators. Outside of professional work, I’ve worked on my own games using Unreal Engine for many years and recently finished one called Chiaroscuro Imago (_Website not available.
