Stefan Heinrich

Character Artist / 3D Artist

My name is Stefan Heinrich. I'm a Character Artist / 3D Artist specialising in highpoly modelling, sculpting, texturing and creating game-ready characters and assets.

I am 29 years old and have contributed to three shipped titles and one unshipped one so far.

I got over 5 years of professional work experience.

I can work in different styles and adapt to new technologies quickly.

English is fluent in writing and speech.

I have worked in many fields already including environment art and level design.

Coming from a technical background (diploma) helps me to better understand the inner workings of a 3d framework and thus create better performing assets. During my studies I also learned about visual arts, media science, audio and video design, marketing and various other disciplines. This helps communicating and working together with people in different fields of game development.

I am currently looking for fulltime or freelance work and I'm willing to relocate.
