About Me
My name is Syed Babar Ali, and I’m a 3D Environment Artist based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a transferable Iqama. I have around 16 years of total professional experience, including over 6 years in the 3D design and game industry.
I specialize in environment design, modeling, texturing, lighting, and level building using Unreal Engine, Maya, Substance Painter, ZBrush, and Quixel Mixer. I focus on creating immersive, high-quality worlds that enhance storytelling and gameplay experiences.
I’ve worked with Octalyte and as a freelance 3D artist, delivering optimized and visually appealing assets for games and media projects. I’m passionate about continuous learning, teamwork, and contributing to innovative projects in the gaming and animation industry.
