About

Hi. I am Yin Shiuan. (nickname)

I've over 10 years of professional 3D asset experience for feature animation and AAA video games, including How to train your dragon TV, LEGO Star Wars, Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 7, etc. I specialize in photoreal 3D character and focus on creating believable 3D artwork.

Fully understanding 3D asset workflow, PBR workflow, and non-destructive procedural workflow. (Substance Designer) Have strong experience of procedural texturing.
Currently, I'm working in a game industry in Taiwan. Not only work for the
character but I also work for the 3D assets, environment, FX, procedural modeling,
procedural texturing, and pipeline development. I enjoy R&D and also love chasing
world-class artwork every day.

My professional skills are modeling, texturing, shading, lighting, hair. I also have the
ability to develop some custom tools based on the Maya MEL scripting.
