About
I’m Benjamin Davis, a Principal/Lead Character Artist with more than 20 years of experience creating next-gen real-time characters for games. My focus is 3D modeling (highpoly/lowpoly), advanced surfacing and texturing, and building strong character visual quality—from heads and hair to clothing, scars, and bionic components—while ensuring everything performs correctly in-engine.
I also enjoy the leadership side of character art: mentoring teams, shaping art direction, and developing efficient production and documentation pipelines. Across studios and multiple shipped titles, I’ve supported character customization systems and worked closely with concept artists, animators, technical art, engineering, and clients to translate creative vision into consistent, high-quality results.

Principal Character Artist on the multiplayer online survival game SCUM. Producing high-quality character assets across modeling and surfacing/texturing workflows while collaborating with teams to ensure consistent integration into the game.
Worked on character customization by sculpting and texturing realistic heads, creating scars and bionic implants for head customization, and aligning texture/material workflows with the tinting system for skin and hair assets.
Conducted R&D to improve character asset quality using hand-sculpted heads combined with head scans, blendshape integration, and advanced real-time hair creation techniques (including XGen incorporated into Metahuman Creator as Groom assets for Unreal Engine 5). Integrated photoreal characters into Metahuman in Unreal 5, tested deformation and blendshapes, set quality benchmarks, and produced heads, hair, and clothing (highpoly/lowpoly/finished materials) to tech specifications.
