    Character Modeler :

    In my role as a Character Modeler, I embark on the creative journey with an existing 3D model, often sculpted or scanned, which may carry a high polygon count or uneven topology. My primary task is to meticulously clean up the mesh by removing unnecessary or excessive polygons, reducing complexity while preserving essential details. As a pivotal player in the 3D modeling pipeline, I transform high-detail, complex meshes into optimized, production-ready assets.
