Raphael Akinola Email & Phone Number

Artistic and technically proficient 3d Artist/3d Modeler. Great analytical skills, quickly anticipating pipeline needs to enhance modeling workflow, rigging/set-up, texturing/painting productivity, and animation requirements for gaming, television, and film. Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science.3D MODELING SKILLS: CHARACTER MODELING - Organic characters (biped, quadruped, multiped, serpentine, avian….); hard-surface characters (robots, androids, cars, airplanes, boats, mechanical devices…). Comprehensive knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology, further enhancing character modeling and rigging skillsets.HARD SURFACE MODELING - Prop and asset development for characters and environments (weapons, vehicles, tools, background elements…).ENVIRONMENT DESIGN - Hard-surface elements and dynamically driven effects-based objects.DIGITAL SCULPTING - Normal map and displacement map generation, replicating aesthetic and dynamic form, and adding shape, line, and detail to enhance the underlining 3d modeling pipeline.  TEXTURING/UV MAPPING - Characters, props, weapons, and environment elements. Implement uniform spaced geometry to support texturing/painting and UV mapping pipeline.RIGGING - Articulate characters, props, and weapons for motion and acting. Build archetype set of characters for animation transfer and outsourcing companies. Construct animation friendly characters and mechanical rigs.
