Hi, I am Jorge Bernier and I am currently based in Portland, OR. I have 10+ years of experience as a 3D generalist and 3+ years of experience as an Industrial Designer. For my personal projects, my main focus is organic modeling, rigging, texturing, and lighting. I use Blender and Zbrush as my main tools to create fantastic 3D characters. For my professional career, I use a combination of Blender and Unreal Engine to create realistic retail environments for retailers.
I work with sales, engineers, and clients to create beautiful fixtures and retail environments for top brands. I use Blender and SolidWorks to create 3D models of complex projects that involve the creation of partial and full commercial interior design layouts, custom fixtures, and custom accessories. I use Blender and Unreal Engine to create beautiful and realistic renderings that adhere to client's products, industry, and branding style. I use Blender and SolidWorks to develop accurate technical drawings. I work with engineers to make sure that the designs meet the production criteria and provide proper documentation for easy prototyping, fabrication, and installation. I provide and work with 3D models given by our clients in several formats such as, obj, fbx, glb, Skp, Datasmith, etc. I also work with already made 3D models from our extensive catalog of products, and use my creativity to create and innovate with new designs that elevate and/or maintain the Company's great quality.
