Hongyu Zhou — Senior 3D Artist & Motion Designer
Entertainment Industry | Hollywood, CA

As a Senior 3D Artist and Motion Designer with almost 10 years of experience in Hollywood, I create high-end 3D assets and motion content for film marketing and logo design. My work spans the full 3D production pipeline — including modeling, texturing, grooming, rigging, lighting, and animation — adapting to each project’s creative and technical demands.

I’m proficient across a wide range of software, including Maya, Cinema 4D, ZBrush, Redshift, Blender, Unreal Engine, Mari, Marvelous Designer, Embergen, After Effects, Photoshop, and the Adobe Suite. I also integrate AI-assisted tools to accelerate design iteration, optimize workflow, and enhance creative efficiency.
