Troy LustyDigital designer

As a recent Game Arts and Design graduate with a specialization in 3D environment design, I'm passionate about crafting compelling visuals which make use of dynamic lighting in order to enhance the storytelling and memorability of such a space. I have experience designing within Blender, Unreal Engine, and Godot, and as such possess a thorough understanding of both real-time and offline rendering techniques.

My skillset extends beyond just 3D art as I'm also proficient in programming, leveraging Godot's GDScript for example to develop robust game logic and systems that complement my visual assets whilst still achieving high performance on the end-user's hardware.
