Troy LustyDigital designer

As a recent Game Arts and Design graduate with a specialization in 3D environment design, I'm passionate about crafting visually compelling atmospheres which utilize dynamic lighting in order to enhance storytelling and create a more memorable space. I have experience designing within Blender, Unreal Engine, and Godot – possessing a thorough understanding of both real-time and offline rendering techniques.

My skillset extends beyond traditional 3D art; I’m 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.
