15 YEARS BUILDING
IMPOSSIBLE WORLDS
I am Sameer Baloch, a senior 3D environment and lighting artist based in Karachi, Pakistan. For over 15 years I have been creating cinematic visual experiences for games, advertising, and digital art.
My work lives in Maya with Redshift renderer and Unreal Engine 5 with Lumen global illumination. Every piece starts with one question: what should the viewer feel?
From CGI commercials for global brands to personal environment art sold as NFTs, I build worlds that make people stop scrolling.
