Hire a Hard-Surface Artist

Hard-surface pipeline from high-poly sculpt to game-ready bake. The Voldex / NFL Universe modular helmet system was delivered solo in ~14 hours as a paid test assignment: base shells, face masks, visors, paintwork via decal-on-mesh, and player-side customization, all built top to bottom. Weapon studies (Bossmerg-12, Fortnite pistol, ARCANE Jinx) shipped from concept to bake with full timelapses.
