Je suis Nicolas Hiernaux, infographiste 3D basé à Annecy, avec plus de 13 ans d’expérience entre environnements industriels et projets créatifs. Mon cœur de métier tourne autour de la modélisation technique et du rendu temps réel : j’optimise des assets CAD vers des formats performants pour mobile et consoles, je réalise du texturing PBR, et j’interviens sur le rigging et l’intégration dans les moteurs comme Unity ou Unreal Engine.
Issu du monde de l’architecture, j’ai conservé une approche rigoureuse, précise et orientée détail, tout en gardant un vrai sens esthétique. J’aime particulièrement le secteur des véhicules et mécanismes (avec des contraintes de licences), ainsi que la précision mécanique au service d’expériences visuelles fiables et attrayantes. En parallèle, j’ai fondé My Mini Bike, une aventure entrepreneuriale autour de la conception et fabrication de modèles réduits très détaillés.
