Jeeheon Chang

A highly skilled and dynamic 3D character artist with a robust background at Studio 694, specializing in the intricate art of high-poly modeling and comprehensive character design. I bring a proven track record of transforming artistic visions into tangible, high-fidelity digital assets. My expertise extends to the crucial process of optimizing assets for real-time applications, ensuring seamless integration and performance within game engines, without compromising visual integrity.

I am a fervent advocate for team collaboration, believing that the best results stem from shared knowledge and collective effort. I excel in cross-functional environments, working closely with animators, concept artists, and technical artists to refine workflows and achieve synergistic outcomes. My passion lies in enhancing visual effects through the meticulous development and application of advanced materials and shaders, pushing the boundaries of realism and aesthetic appeal.

I am committed to consistently delivering high-quality game assets that not only meet technical specifications, but also significantly elevate the player experience, creating immersive and memorable interactions.
