About
I’m Jez Ramsay, a highly versatile Environment Artist and 3D Generalist based in Cheshire, with 20+ years of experience creating detailed game worlds, assets, and visual content for major AAA studios. I love building environments from the first concept through asset layout and final polish, keeping the work beautiful while also meeting real-time performance, memory, and technical constraints across console and PC.
Across my career, I’ve led and delivered large-scale world-building efforts, combining strong 3D art fundamentals with technical optimisation, procedural generation, and pipeline-focused collaboration. From co-developing mission worlds in Sniper Elite: Resistance to developing real-time environment art and tools at d3t and shaping the finishing workflow at Evolution Studios, I bring a practical, production-minded approach that helps teams ship polished worlds.
