Good 3D character work is about decisions. Where the silhouette breaks. How heavy the boots look when the character walks. What the eyes do when the light shifts. That's the layer I obsess over.
I'm Umer, a 3D character artist and environment specialist based in Karachi. For the last few years I've been making characters, worlds, lighting, and cinematic pieces for game studios, Web3 teams, indie productions, and stylized projects. Everything solo, concept through final render.
If you've scrolled this far, take a look at the portfolio first. Kyra The Mechanic for a realistic hero shot. Bai Petko The Bulgarian Hero for stylized full-turnaround character work. The Rat King and The Nightgrasp Monster for creature design. The third-person shooter character pack for range. And Yellowtape, Dragon Ball, and UEFN maps for environments and lighting. If something there matches the energy of what you're building, we'll probably work well together.
Here's how I break down what I do:
๐งโ๐จ 3D Characters (the work I love most)
Hero leads, creature antagonists, stylized casts, supporting characters. I sculpt, retopologize, texture, and finish each piece to a standard that holds up in cinematic close-ups and still deforms cleanly when animated. Comfortable across realistic and stylized. Comfortable working from concept art, mood boards, or a written brief if that's all you have.
๐๏ธ Environments
Full scene builds with Megascans, Nanite, and Lumen. Interiors, exteriors, hero shots, modular kits. I think about composition the same way a cinematographer does. Where the eye lands first, where it travels, what makes the space feel real instead of decorated.
๐ก Lighting
The discipline I take most seriously. Most projects treat lighting as a final pass. I treat it as half the storytelling. Stylized lighting, photoreal lighting, dramatic key/fill setups, day and night cycles, hero-shot work for trailers and turnarounds.
๐ฌ Cinematics & 3D Animation
End-to-end in Unreal Sequencer. Camera, animation, lighting, VFX, compositing, render. Trailers, intros, announcement teasers, story sequences. Recent pieces include Solordia, Revolon, Dogizen, Mexican Standoff, and Xoru: The Saga Begins.
๐งฑ 3D Modeling
Game-ready and render-ready characters, props, vehicles, and set pieces. Clean topology, sensible LODs, PBR materials, proper UVs. Optimized for real-time without sacrificing close-up quality.
โ๏ธ Software
Unreal Engine 5, MetaHuman, Sequencer, Megascans, Lumen, Nanite, Blender, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Marvelous Designer, Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro.
๐ What working with me looks like
Scope locked before kickoff. Previews at every milestone. Source files delivered organized and ready for handoff. Honest answers about timelines and risks, given on day two instead of day twenty. If your brief is half-formed, that's fine, I'll help you shape it.
Send me a paragraph about what you're making and where you're stuck. I'll come back with relevant samples and a clear sense of how I'd approach it. No commitment on either side until we both feel the fit.
