Jacob James

I am in my second year of my course at UCA Farnham, I am studying Games Art BA. Overall I have been studying Games Art for roughly 5 years, through College and University. Over this time I have gained skills in 3D Modelling software such as Blender, Maya and 3DS Max, Game Engines like Unity and Unreal Engine, and Texturing software like Substance Painter, Stager and Designer.

During my time in education studying Games Art, I worked on 7 different game projects, ranging from puzzle platforming games, racing games, physical board games, horror storytelling games and multiplayer party games. In majority of these games I worked as a Lead 3D Artist in the group, focusing on hard surface prop assets and occasionally dabbling into environmental assets when help was needed.
