When a project needs visuals that are clear, consistent, and production-ready, many teams run into the same problem: too many handoffs, inconsistent results, and ideas that donโt fully translate. ๐ฏ I help solve that by handling the complete 2D & 3D visual pipeline in one place. Iโm Umer, a 2D & 3D Specialist with over 10 years of experience across games, films, product showcases, explainer videos, and architectural walkthroughs. I work as a creative partner, taking projects from early concept to final delivery while keeping visuals both beautiful and technically precise. I work on single assets or full pipelines, including 2D illustration, 3D modeling & sculpting, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, rendering, compositing, and motion graphics. This approach helps teams reduce friction, maintain consistency, and move faster without sacrificing quality. โก Core Capabilities โจ -3D modeling & sculpting for characters, products, props, environments, and architecture -Texturing & look development with stylized, PBR, or photorealistic workflows -Rigging & skinning for characters, creatures, and mechanical setups -Character, product, and camera animation -Lighting & rendering for real-time and offline pipelines -2D design & motion graphics including explainer videos, logo animation, typography, VFX, and post production Tools & Pipelines ๐ ๏ธ -Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D -ZBrush, Substance Painter, Quixel Mixer -Redshift, Arnold, Octane, Eevee, Cycles -Unreal Engine 5, Unity -After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Nuke I focus on creating visuals that support the project as a whole, not just isolated assets. If you want a reliable creative partner who understands both the artistic and technical side of production, I can step in as part of your pipeline rather than just another freelancer. ๐ค.
