In this episode of the Fika Sessions, Petter Mårtensson sits down with Océane Näsström, Character Artist at Massive Entertainment, to discuss the ins and outs of Character Art and 3D modelling. A Character Artist transforms 2D concept art into fully fledged 3D characters and bring them to life in the game. They master a wide range of artistic and technical skills, and seamlessly move between different software to create their art. Océane gives us an insight into how it all works, how Character Artists interact with other teams and her journey from being “the art kid” to working on AAA titles in the games industry. She also brought her own baked fika. What are those delicious things?

3D Artist at Zenfri Inc, and these days I do a lot of procedural / technical environment art with SideFX Houdini, Substance Designer, and Unity. I have a few years of experience in the 3D industry here in Winnipeg, having worked with Electric Monk Media and Tangent Animation in the past. I'm a DMD + 3DCG grad from Red River College too! I love finding ways to automate or improve the efficiency of art stuff, so I end up fiddling around with Houdini both at work and at home. I listen to a lot of metal, and play a lot PC games and Magic. I'm a big fan of dark coffee and dark beer, but not at the same time.
