At this website, an overview of the projects that Pan Jeng-Yu has undertaken over the past 18 years will be presented, providing insights into his experiences and qualifications. I hope you find it appealing.

Senior 3d artist

My name is Pan Jeng-yu, and I am a highly experienced 3D artist who has been working in the 3D video industry since 1996. Throughout my 3D modeling career, I have contributed to the development of many of the most popular and acclaimed video game titles. I specialize in creating efficient and beautiful 3D art for video games, with a focus on environment art and prop making.

PC and Consoles projects

 

“Dead by Daylight” is a popular online asymmetric multiplayer survival horror game developed by the Canadian studio Behaviour Interactive. The game was initiated in 2017 by a group of 10 developers and has since grown to around 100 members. Despite facing challenges such as having only 2 environment artists (I was one of them), the team’s dedication and passion for making art helped them achieve the goal of bringing this game to a global market.

I am proud to present his 7 years of devotion to this project and hopes that you enjoy my work.

Wii project

  • I participated in the development of “My Sims 3” for the Wii platform in 2010.
  • This project spanned over a year and was a significant milestone in my career.
  • It was the first time I worked with a larger team of more than four artists.

  • I had done was mostly props or sections of the environment.
  • From that point, I stepped into a higher level of the console, which allowed me to have more freedom to create my art with higher polycounts and texture resolutions. This experience helped me develop my skills as an artist and gave me the confidence to take on more challenging projects in the future.

Mobile Projects

  • I took on the role of the sole 3D artist responsible for the entire environment, including characters.

Nintendo DS Projects

From the year of 2005 to 2016, it was the golden era of the first generation of Nintendo DS, I was fortunate enough to be involved in some big Hollywood projects to develop video games for movie promotions. Since the hardware had very low performance, the majority of my work was done on a very low poly budget. Typically, there were two artists handling all the art, we were one animator and one or two 3D artist. However, I was the main 3D artist responsible for making all the 3D artwork in a very short amount of time.

Scooby-Doo: unmasked DS was my very first project when I began my video game career in the year 2005.
