About Me

My name's Antoine FERNEZ. I have more than 15 years of experience in graphic design in many domains and especially 3D video games. It is hard to summaries the experience I have developed with such a variety of projects and so many different kinds of customers. I have worked in Art direction and management, and have used so many different types of software, engines, plug-ins, production methods...

 I'm looking for a job as a 3D graphist (modeler, texturer, animator, etc.) or in team management and art direction.

For a more detailed background;  I started out at Tiwak/UBISOFT in 2000 as a character modeler/texturer, before moving to freelance working on video game graphic design. At the same time, I was teaching modeling, texturing and animation in different art schools in France and abroad.

I started my own company, Antek Studio with my associate Anthony Debock  and a team of my students. We worked on many games for Etranges Libellules, based in Lyon, and others studios. Then we brought on game developers and created our own game, Pirate wings, for iPhone.

At Antek I was the Art Director and Production Manager. These roles required managing customer relationships, representing the company within the industry and wider and contributing to strategic decision making.

After the crisis of 2009 we had to diversify our activities. We made some advergames, serious games, augmented reality attractions, pre-render pictures and many other things (Web design, etc.).

At Antek we also develop an advanced solution to customize 3D characters in games called the Avatar Workshop. As well Art Director, and Production Manager, I worked on the R&D of it.

After taking a break, to pursue some different artistic endeavors, today I feel refreshed and looking forward to the creativity, team work and constant arrival of new technologies that make this job so exciting!
