Oscar Avila Roson

Game designer with a strong foundation in Media Arts (B.A.A., Magna Cum Laude – Wichita State University) and a Master’s in Environment & Prop Art from U-TAD University. I specialize in crafting immersive game environments, modular assets, and high-quality textures that balance visual fidelity with performance.

My work combines technical precision and artistic flair, using tools like ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter/Designer, Maya, 3ds Max, Unreal Engine, and Marmoset. I excel in transforming 2D concepts into optimized 3D assets, with deep knowledge in shaders, LODs, trim sheets, foliage, and terrain blending.

I thrive in collaborative environments, aligning closely with level designers, lighting artists, and tech teams to meet gameplay and design needs under production deadlines.

Currently working as the Environment & Prop Artist on a large-scale, team-based game development project involving over 40 members, including designers, programmers, artists, and producers. The game is being developed as the capstone for my Master's degree and will be presented to PlayStation and submitted to the BIG Festival Awards.
Responsibilities include:

Designing and building modular environments using Unreal Engine, Maya, and ZBrush

Collaborating with level designers and technical artists to ensure visual consistency and performance

Creating optimized assets and trim sheets, and supporting the team with documentation and pipeline workflows

Adapting to real production timelines and cross-discipline collaboration similar to an actual studio environment

This project closely simulates the structure and expectations of a professional development cycle.
