My Name is Stefan Heinrich. I'm a 3D Game Artist living in Germany.
I am currently looking for work.
I am 25 years old and have a degree in Computer Science in Media.
I am doing lowpoly/highpoly models and textures for characters and environments.
There are three shipped titles which I contributed to, that means I have about 2 years of professional work experience and around 6 years total as an artist.
Coming from a technical background as a programmer I have a better understanding of the inner workings of a 3d framework than your average 3d artist. During my studies I also learned about visual arts, media science, audio and video design, marketing and various other disciplines. This helps communicating and working together with people in different fields of game development.

Education

Degree in Computer Science in Media 2002-2007

Although some 3d art classes and art classes where held in University, it wasn't enough to be working in the game industry some day. Therefore I'm mostly a self-educated person. I learned alot from gameart forums, other artists and two internships in game companies half a year each. Both of them offered me a paid job afterwards.

Work experience

The Show 2006
freelance work, leading a small team of 5 artists total. Responsible for texturing and task planning of the RTS buildings of the game.
