About Sam

Sam worked as a Junior 3D Artist at XO3D, supporting the team in producing premium product CGI for high-end tech brands. Day to day, he helped build and polish assets, assisting with modelling tasks, preparing materials, and supporting lighting and render setup so shots stayed clean, consistent, and on brief.

He cared about the fundamentals that make CGI feel premium: accurate proportions, believable surface response, and disciplined finishing. Whether he was helping prep a product for close-up frames, cleaning geometry, or supporting revisions across an image set, Sam focused on precision and clarity, making sure the work read well and held up under scrutiny.

Sam no longer works at XO3D. His project credits remain on the case studies he contributed to.
