My name is Polina Kuznetsova. My portfolio features projects created during the 2025–2026 academic year while I was studying the CGI and Visual Effects program at HSE.
My primary specialization is Unreal Engine Artist. Additionally, I have strong skills in ZBrush, Maya, Motion Builder, Substance Painter, Adobe After Effects, and Photoshop. I also have experience with light baking in Unreal Engine and cleaning up mocap animation.
