3D Artist Generalist
Since 2022, I have been improving my 3D skills inspired by games that have left a lasting impression on me, such as The Legend of Zelda, Portal, Undertale, and Evoland. Very quickly, my goal evolved beyond simply creating images to focus on designing immersive game environments.
My first projects, Hebald Forest and The Lotus Society (VR), allowed me to build a solid foundation in environment modeling and engine integration. With Teku Teku, I expanded my skills to include rigging and animation, while developing my sense of composition and visual clarity.
I then expanded my expertise in real-time projects with Project Astra (VR), working on environments and VFX under strict performance and immersion constraints.
With City Game, I’ve reached a new level of independence: I design and produce all of the project’s 3D assets, ensuring artistic consistency on my own. This work has notably resulted in the creation of a complete asset pack.
This progression materialized at Emraude (first as an intern, then as a freelancer), where I contributed to projects for clients such as Chanel, TotalEnergies, and Accor. There, I learned to develop under tight constraints, optimize for real-time performance (mobile and web using Three.js), and integrate into a demanding production pipeline.
Since 2026, I have been involved in the creation of the independent studio ODDACIOUS Entertainment as Lead 3D Artist and Lead Art Director. In this role, I oversee the artistic production and ensure the visual consistency of our projects. For Expired Dungeon, I created a complete modular environment, a playable character, and several enemies, while managing the entire art production pipeline.
Today, I’m looking to join a team where I can actively contribute to creating ambitious projects by sharing my vision, my versatility, and my dedication to production.

Reviews and recommendations
"Excellent finishing work: great attention to detail (textures, clarity, screws, thicknesses), thorough 3D print checks, and precise technical adjustments (bevels, depths, tolerances). The result has a very “industrial/OEM” look, with top-notch modeling precision and cleanliness. I highly recommend!"
"Excellent partnership in creating the logo: highly responsive, proactive, and above all, a genuine ability to transform an “OEM/manufacturer-inspired” brief into a clean, cohesive, and customizable design. Meticulous 3D modeling, smooth communication, and rapid iterations with a solid understanding of manufacturing constraints."
"It was a wonderful experience working with Laurie. Beyond her technical skills and the impeccable quality of her work, I particularly appreciated her attention, patience, and dedication throughout the project. Our communication was smooth, constructive, and always conducted in a positive spirit. Laurie quickly understood my expectations and refined the details with great precision. It was a collaboration that was both professional and enjoyable, which I highly recommend and would gladly repeat."
"I had the opportunity to work with Laurie Hervé, an intern who is exceptionally thorough and dedicated. She possesses excellent technical understanding and demonstrates genuine skills in optimizing video game scenes. She is very diligent in her work and is also a pleasure to work with on a daily basis. I recommend her without reservation, both for her professional skills and her personal qualities."
