Available to hire
Hi there, I’m Ming Bong, a CG Generalist focusing on texturing, look development, and lighting for film and TV. I’m passionate about crafting photorealistic 3D creatures and assets, bridging cinematic storytelling with commercial production.
Over the years I’ve collaborated with studios in Sydney, Adelaide, and Singapore, delivering high-quality assets across look development, grooming, lighting, and surfacing. I thrive in cross-disciplinary teams and love turning creative ideas into believable, immersive visuals.
