Tim Woody (Adeline3D)

3D Character Artist with 10+ years of experience creating stylized and realistic characters for games and interactive experiences. Specialized in building expressive, visually striking characters with strong silhouettes and personality, ranging from digital humans to unsettling creature designs. Experienced across the full character pipeline, from concept-driven sculpting, texture generation, modular and parametric shader development, and look development to optimized real-time assets and in-engine implementation.

3D Character Artist at Freelance (2025-02 – Present)

• Created game and animation ready character assets for indie and contract-based projects using ZBrush, Blender, Substance Painter, Unreal Engine, and Marvelous Designer
• Worked across the full character pipeline including sculpting, retopology, UVs, texturing, shading, and engine integration to ensure assets look or feel like the concepts.
• Collaborated with clients and teams to iterate on assets based on artistic and technical feedback while also developing documentation to help maintain cohesive production workflows

QA Engineer II - Look Dev (Contract via Aditi Consulting) at Meta (2025-04 – 2026-02)

• Led look development for real-time digital humans, refining skin, eye, makeup and hair shaders in Blender to maintain consistent character quality and realism within a highly procedural pipeline
• Wrapped and processed 300+ character identities to a shared topology using Wrap3D and Python tools for a scalable modular pipeline
• Worked closely with animation and tech art to improve character deformation, hand interaction, and real-time presentation across different lighting setups
• Review renders, checking quality consistency and notating in documentation
• Helped onboard and support new artists joining the team

3D Artist - Digital Humans (Contract via Russel Tobin) at Meta (2022-04 – 2024-04)

• Created photoreal digital humans for Meta and Oculus platforms, including Codec Avatars, with a focus on modeling, texturing, shading, and grooming for real-time use
• Create Python scripts to setup procedural shader nodes at render time
• Built Python tools and scripts to automate repetitive tasks, saving over 20 hours of manual production work each week
• Work with Outsourcing departments to obtain hair grooms and check quality then build a Blender script to convert the hair grooms to usable library for the avatars
• Refine HDA tooling in Houdini to ensure outputs fit our specs
• Wrote documentation and onboarding materials to help support workflow consistency and train new team members

3D Digital Body Artist at Gerber Tech. (2016-11 – 2022-04)

• Built parametric digital body models for real-time garment visualization
• Created and simulated 100+ garment assets for interactive AR and web applications

3D Anatomy Technician at Anatomage (2014-08 – 2016-11)

• Modeled, UV’d, and textured anatomically accurate 3D assets derived from CT and scan data, collaborating closely with engineers and scientific advisors

Bachelor’s Degree in 3D Animation – Academy of Art University (2012-05)
