Josh Cairns

I'm Josh, a stylised 3D Environment Artist specialising in Blender, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Unreal Engine, and with a limited knowledge of Unity. I've been passionate about games for as long as I can remember; games like Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet and Clank and Shadow of the Colossus were some of my favourite games growing up, all of them with absolutely breath-taking environments that I always look to for inspiration.

One of my favourite things about being a 3D Artist is the entire development process. I find it incredibly satisfying going from a simple blockout to a complete 3D model within a game engine. It provides a sense of pride and accomplishment (I am not quoting EA, don't dig into it) seeing how far a model can come along, and for me that goes for everything I model. I go into each development with the same passion and drive: no matter how big or small the asset is, I'll make sure it's PERFECT.

Outside of games I'm a massive nerd for practically everything, particularly Dinosaurs, DC and Star Wars, and I happen to be an avid football enjoyer (I use avid lightly, RAWA).
