3D Artist
Hello! I'm Essi, a 3D artist from Finland. My focus is on modeling stylised 3D characters and environment asset and texturing for games and animation.
​
I have recently focused creating for Unreal Engine game engine. With my models I want to help create a mystical and inviting athmosphere that fits the story the project is trying to tell.

Projects
XBit Tornio, Lapin AMK Internship 1.11.2024 -20.2.2025
​
I was tasked to build a winter scenery of a village by Finnish Lapland rapids and forest. The environment was built inside Unreal Engine and I filmed videos and took pictures that were displayed in a showroom with huge screens. This material can be used for marketing. I was responsible for the whole project so for making all 3D models, textures, special effects, filming and editing.
