About me
Hi, I'm María Paz!I am a 3D Character & Asset Modeler, with over 5 years of experience bringing stylized and cartoon designs to life. My work sits at the intersection of artistic appeal and technical precision, translating 2D concept art into clean, production-ready 3D models optimized for deformation and animation.Throughout my journey, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with prominent animation studios, developing high-quality characters and assets for international advertising campaigns, short films, and animated series.Having a strong foundation in 2D art and background experience as a generalist. Handling workflows like texturing and grooming with Yeti. I possess a comprehensive understanding of the production pipeline. This perspective allows me to collaborate seamlessly with adjacent departments, anticipate downstream technical constraints, and ensure that every model preserves its design appeal while functioning flawlessly in production.I’m always excited about new challenges, pushing my technical boundaries, and collaborating with passionate teams to create expressive, unforgettable characters.Let’s build something amazing together!
