My name is Diogo Castelo Branco and my main objective at the moment is to put all my knowledge and skills into practice and apply all my experience developed in the area of ​​3D for video games. I have a Degree in Audio Visual and Multimedia at Escola Superior de Comunicação Social and currently I work as a 3D Prop and Environment artist at Glocktopus Studios. 

Throughout my academic career I have been using and consequently gaining experience and practice in various softwares such as Blender, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects, as well as increasing my knowledge of the art fundamentals. During the pandemic I taught myself Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Zbrush and Unreal Engine. 

From 2019 to 2023 I worked as a MCR Operator and, despite not being related to 3D for video games, it was important to the development of my personal and professional qualities. Responsibility, organization and teamwork are the three qualities that better define me professionally. I think that my best characteristics are being honest, professional and motivated,  among friends I'm known for learning things in short periods of time, and among co-workers I was praised for friendliness and adaptability - in just 1 year I went from trainee to shift supervisor and I was often the one who trained new colleagues.

In January of 2023, I joined an indie studio that is working on a MOBA/Hero Shooter game. I have been working as a 3D Prop and Environment artist and have the pleasure of working and learning from industry experienced peers and colleagues.

In July of 2023, I joined a friend in a small project, as a developer, 3D artist and music composer. A roguelike, dungeon crawler, focusing on procedurally generated levels and puzzles, with emphasis on great gameplay and smart 3D asset creation.
