3D artist working in hard surface
Hi, I'm Mert, a 3D artist and generalist based in Istanbul.
Since 2021 I've worked across games and marketing, focused on hard-surface modeling, props and lighting.
The "Yuletide" pistol was designed for the Crystal Siege event in Critical Strike, a mobile first-person shooter. The concept blends sci-fi and Christmas themes into one distinctive weapon design.
The high-poly mesh was built entirely in Plasticity. Baking was done in Marmoset Toolbag, and all texturing was handled in Substance Painter.
Hope you enjoy it!
AMARI is a blueprint weapon concept built around an angelic event theme, with winged gold detailing and glowing inner cores.
I created the concept and handled the full workflow, from blockout to final render. It's a real-time, game-ready asset: one material, one UV map, 9,706 tris.
Hero's Shield is a game-ready, equippable prop built for a first-person shooter mobile game. It blends medieval and fantasy aesthetics, with gold patterns, iron spikes and heavy chains, inspired by a mythological event.
Driftmaster is a weapon concept built for "Deadly Drift", an in-game event for the mobile shooter Critical Strike. The whole concept, including the silhouette, was designed directly in 3D with a blockout-first approach, turning automotive parts (engine headers, a nitrous bottle, a coil-over) into a firearm.
Built game-ready for mobile: a single material, 11,248 triangles.
A weapon concept made for a first-person mobile shooter. I modeled it in Blender and ZBrush, textured it in Substance Painter, and rendered the presentation shots in Marmoset.
It's built game-ready: a single UV map and one material, 10,783 triangles. Textures are 4K on the renders and capped at 1K in-game. I also used Unreal Engine for the social media and portfolio shots.

I started from a simple animatic sketch and built it from there. I set up the shots, cameras and composition myself. Modeled and textured in Blender and Substance Painter, edited in After Effects, and rendered with Flamenco.

Here the goal was to mix a cinematic feel with real gameplay. I set up the shots, cameras and composition from an animatic sketch. Modeled and textured in Blender and Substance Painter, edited in After Effects, and rendered with Flamenco.

The models, textures and materials are all mine. I handled the lighting, rendering, compositing and the SFX/VFX work in Blender, Substance Painter and After Effects.
