Top SchoolOliver Barraza is a game developer and technical artist with over a decade of professional experience and nearly two decades of involvement in game creation, spanning concept art, 3D character sculpting, materials and full integration. He has shipped work on high-profile console and PC titles like Spyro Reignited Trilogy and collaborated closely with creators such as Keita Takahashi to faithfully translate distinctive 2D styles into 3D.
