Hi, I’m Jonathan Turner, a passionate and innovative 3D Artist with over eight years of experience bringing high-quality assets and environments to life for film, television, and AAA games. Specializing in photogrammetry, real-time rendering, and motion graphics, I excel in crafting immersive digital experiences that captivate audiences and elevate storytelling.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to award-winning projects such as Westworld, John Wick, and Lost in Space. My expertise bridges the gap between technical precision and artistic vision, enabling me to deliver assets that are as visually stunning as they are optimized for production pipelines. Whether it’s designing photorealistic environments, creating intricate hard-surface models, or developing advanced shaders, I thrive on pushing creative and technical boundaries.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in VFX and Animation (Game Art Focus), graduating Summa Cum Laude as the top student in my class. My professional toolkit includes industry-standard software such as Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine, ZBrush, and Houdini, paired with a deep understanding of photogrammetry and cinematic production workflows

Beyond the screen, I draw inspiration from my passions for photography, music, gaming, and fishing, which fuel my creativity and problem-solving skills. Looking ahead, my long-term aspiration is to evolve into Art Direction, leading and inspiring teams to craft extraordinary digital worlds.

Collaboration and storytelling are at the core of my work. I believe in the magic that happens when creative minds come together to bring unforgettable worlds to life.
