About

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.
