Feb 2017 - Jun 2023 • 6 yrs 4 mos

Working as an independent 3D character artist specializing in avatar creation, editing, and optimization for VRChat, VTubing, and machinima communities. Over the years I've built a strong reputation delivering high-quality, performance-optimized models across multiple platforms and pipelines. Key responsibilities and achievements include: Creating, editing, and porting character models for TF2, GMod, SFM, FNAF, MMD, and VRChat, ensuring compatibility and clean rigging across each platform's specific requirements. Designing and building custom VRM VTuber avatars for Warudo, VSeeFace, and VTube Studio, including full ARKit facial tracking setup, blendshape configuration, and bone rigging for natural, expressive movement. Designing original VRChat outfits, clothing, dresses, jackets, and accessories, sculpting and texturing from scratch, then rigging with realistic cloth and hair physics while keeping polygon count and performance rank optimized. Optimizing existing VRM, VRChat, and VR avatars for smooth real-time performance in Warudo and other streaming software, fixing broken shaders, reducing draw calls, correcting weight painting, and fine-tuning ARKit facial expression mapping for accurate lip-sync and emotion tracking.
