Marcos Miranda

Worked on an agile team of developers and game designers as a 3D Character Artist. Created animal and humanoid 3D characters from 2D concepts, accurately matching character design from concepts. Used Maya, ZBrush and Blender for character creation, Substance Painter for texturing, and Perforce for content sharing with other team members. Created base models for reviews by the Lead Artist and the team on Jira. Prepared models for efficient rigging and animation by adding edge loops and clean UV maps; created LODs for in-game content to meet triangle count requirements. Created material instances for models in Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5.

Worked on an agile team developing mobile and AAA open-world MMO games, creating animal and humanoid 3D characters from 2D concepts. Utilized Maya, ZBrush, Blender, and Substance Painter for modeling and texturing, and Perforce for content sharing. Involved in the full character creation process including high poly modeling, retopology, UV mapping, LOD creation, rigging preparation, and creating material instances in Unreal Engine 4 and 5. Participated in designing concept armor and anatomical stylized characters, and collaborated with lead artists and team members using Jira.
