My name is Gonzalo Peñaloza, aka Zerkalo. As an independent 3D artist and creative developer, I specialize in crafting immersive environments and simulations. Currently, at Cominted Labs in Miami, I contribute as a 3D Environment Artist, collaborating on flagship projects and exceeding client expectations through a blend of technical proficiency and creative excellence. My role involves utilizing industry-standard software and staying updated on emerging trends to infuse innovative ideas into our endeavors.
Previously, as Lead 3D Artist at GM Studios in Argentina, I optimized workflows for NFTs and Decentraland environments, showcasing my ability to meet project goals within proposed deadlines. This experience provided me with valuable insights into Metaverse and video game environments, along with honing my skills in Unity programming and 3D asset creation.
My educational background in Design and Communication Studies from the Universidad de Buenos Aires has equipped me with a multidisciplinary approach to creativity. This foundation, coupled with my hands-on experience, has enabled me to lead projects such as "EPECUÉN 3D" where I utilized augmented reality, generative art techniques, and visual effects editing to bring compelling narratives to brand new living worlds.
Driven by a passion for storytelling and innovation, I am committed to pushing the boundaries of creative expression in the dynamic landscape of 3D art and development. With a track record of delivering high-quality work and a dedication to continuous improvement, I am poised to contribute effectively to projects that demand both technical expertise and artistic vision.
