Joan Barduena - Environment Artist & Web Designer

I'm Joan Barduena, an artist led by Roger León, who has been teaching me, as well as to my partners, lots of things in order to show my best art and capacities. I would consider myself a perfectionist. The good thing is, that I am not satisfied doing anything fast and without detail to finish quick, so my works are always the best I can. I reiterate and reiterate the same prop until I achieve the result I want.

During the project I have widen my skills on 3D modeling with 3ds Max and Maya, on sculping with Zbrush and photo editing with Photoshop. I have also learned some new skills while painting textures with Substance Painter, in addition to creating a web page with HTML5 and CSS.

PROJECT CONTRIBUTION

Respect to The Witcher: Ties of Destiny, I was in charge of conceptualizing and modeling 3D props for the enviroment, creating those environments with the props my partners and I had created, composing some of the Tutorial cards, rendering and testing 2K and 4K textures of the levels, as well as, studying and placing lights for those. Also, learning HTML5 and CSS from zero in order to create this web page.

Most of the time I have been working with Xavi Marin in different tasks. I have worked very confortably at his side and as a result we have obtained very good results. Not forgetting that Roger León has always been there to help us.
