Olivia Papagavriel
From a young age, I've been passionate about art, digitalisation and visual storytelling. That is what led me to study Applied Multimedia and minor in Graphic and Digital Design. This background has provided me with both the technical skills and creative sensitivity that continue to shape me both personally and professionally.

3d blade
Project overview:
The goal of this project was to create a game-ready weapon asset for a PvP environment, starting from my original stylized concept sketch. I modeled the weapon in Maya with an emphasis on clean, optimized topology, then used ZBrush to refine details and add character through storytelling elements. Textures were created in Substance Painter to achieve a stylized yet believable surface quality. The project demonstrates my ability to take a design from concept to final presentation, balancing creativity with technical execution.Deliverables:
