I am Kyriakos Kontopoulos, a 3D Artist, Compositor, Texture Artist, and Animator with training from Digireal Studios, Escape Studios, and the University of Nicosia. I specialize in creating optimized and high‑quality 3D models, detailed textures, clean UVs, and seamless 3D‑to‑live‑action integration. Skilled in Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Marvelous Designer, After Effects, and Photoshop, I focus on precision, storytelling, and efficient workflows. My creative process blends strong technical discipline with artistic intuition, shaped by military training, customer‑facing experience, and years of hands‑on CGI work. I bring dedication, adaptability, and a passion for crafting meaningful visuals across games, film, and animation.
