About

I’m Vaibhav Choudhary, an Environment Artist, 3D Artist, and real-time 3D designer with 6+ years of experience creating immersive worlds for games and XR experiences. I enjoy building cohesive environment storytelling through modular asset creation, PBR materials, lighting, and performance-minded scene optimization—so what looks great also runs smoothly in real-time.

I’ve contributed to Fortnite environment production at Epic Games, including stylized structures, natural spaces, and dense urban POIs, while partnering closely with Level Design and art leads to support gameplay routes and visual readability. Earlier, at Tata Elxsi, I worked on photoreal production-ready 3D assets and VR/XR training environments, including Unreal Engine 5 and Meta Quest 2 interactive workflows—taking projects from reference and blockout to optimization, integration, and testing.
