Ray Linn Brunstad | BA (Hons) CGI and Visual Effects
Specialism – Games Designer / Game Artist / Programmer and Problem Solver / Production
Ray Brunstad has been one of this years top 3D modeller and a wonderful prop artist, with a clear passion for stylised game art and a strong foundation in both modelling and texturing. Joining us in this final year as a Digital Art student, Ray has been an active voice in group forums and critiques, regularly contributing to discussions and supporting peers with thoughtful feedback.
For her final major project, Ray set out to develop key skills in stylistic 3D game art —focusing on prop creation, texturing workflows, and adapting to a range of visual styles. Drawing from a background in 2D art, she has approached the project with a strong understanding of form, shape language, and colour theory, using these to inform the creation of expressive, stylised assets.
The project centres on the creation of a varied set of game props, each designed to explore different styles and techniques. From vibrant hand-painted textures to sculpted detail and procedural methods, Ray tested multiple approaches to adapt to different artistic briefs. She placed particular emphasis on clean topology, efficient UV layout, and consistent texel density.
By focusing on flexibility, artistic expression, and technical efficiency, Ray has developed a well-rounded portfolio that reflects the expectations of a junior 3D prop artist. Her ability to balance visual creativity with practical production methods makes her an asset for anyone looking for a solid and exceptional prop modeller.
