the philotoasty

Hello there!

I’m Thomas, a Senior 3D Artist & Motion Designer based in Nantes.

I love to work with people who share my interest and my passion for minimalist design.

I believe that stylized art direction and hand-polished animation can create striking worlds.

My rigourous, yet creative approach to 3D imagemaking is sustained by an unrelenting drive to create quality work.

Let's forge inspiring worlds together!

about me

With over ten years of experience in the 3D industry, I have built expertise at the crossroads of graphic design, 2D/3D animation, and photorealistic rendering.

Most recently, I collaborated with Happy Volcano, where I improved my skills in real-time rendering on Unity and Unreal Engine. I worked as an Art Director on You Suck at Parking and as a Senior 3D Artist on various game prototypes.

These experiences allowed me to achieve full mastery of the 3D production pipeline, from concept to final delivery, both in real-time and pre-rendered workflows.

I’m now looking for a new adventure, whether in the field of 3D design or around my new passion: specialty coffee.

Looking forward to connecting, ideally over a good coffee!
