-Welcome to my CG Portfolio, my name is Carlos Parmentier. I’m a low/high poly modeling artist, I have also skills on render, sculpting, topology, animation, rigging, texturing, dynamics, composition and more. What I like most while working on CG is to create nice environment images and visual effects.

BIOGRAPHY:

I have more than 14 years experience in 3D design and visual effects. I have an disability hearing, but does not prevent me from speaking, Currently Living in Barcelona (SPAIN), I have a 3D generalist skills set with modeling ability and in-depth knowledge of texture and Rendering. I started playing video games since 1983 which helped my choice in 1991 to begin studying programming with old DOS programs like Pascal & C, making several mini video games. In 1989 i had first encounters with 3d FX in movies. This fact inspired me very much, so i started to learn 3d studio. In 2005 I laid aside my ambitions of progamming for my new point life, into to 3D world.
