Damon Smith | Portfolio

Hello, Disbelief

Welcome to my portfolio. I’m Damon Smith, a 3D Generalist and Technical Artist with a passion for building captivating worlds—not just for their visual impact, but for the technical problem-solving behind them.

I’ve curated this selection specifically for you. Inside, you’ll find a mix of games, environments, props, and animated characters I’ve worked on, each highlighting different aspects of technical art. Toward the end, there’s a small sample of additional technical experiments I’ve done for fun. It doesn’t tell the whole story, but it offers a glimpse into how I work and what I love to create.

Thanks for taking the time to explore it.
