I'm Luke Heath-Cote, a 3D Artist & Motion Designer with a strong technical edge. I take assets from concept through to optimized, render-ready outputs, combining high-poly detail with cleanups that keep things performant. I'm equally at home in offline rendering and real-time engines, and I care about how something looks and how efficiently it gets there. I move between environments and props to digital humans with ease, delivering photoreal or stylized visuals that work across offline renders and real-time pipelines while collaborating with teams on a wide range of experiences.
