Mentor Bio
Paula Sánchez-Ferrero | Lead Environment & Prop Artist
Paula is currently working as Lead Environment & Prop Artist at elite3d. Having been there for more than 4 years now, she has contributed to titles such as The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope, Call of Duty: Cold War, Metro Exodus, Call of Duty: World War II and Overkill’s The Walking Dead, as well as 7 unannounced titles.
Having had to adapt very quick and early to the constant change of workflows and demands from one project to another, Paula soon managed to develop a critical eye that allowed her to take her art to the next level. Considering herself a true passionate about all 3D specialties, she has found in Props and Environment Art the perfect way of expression to drive her creativity. Interesting shapes, realistic textures and strong storytelling are combined with technique to generate optimized but detailed models to put her art in disposal for the industry needs.
