Marcos Domenech

Principal 3D Props Artist at KRAFTON (PUBG)

Niigata City, Japan

Summary

Hi, I’m Marcos Domenech — a 3D artist specialized in environments and props, with over 25 years of experience across traditional art, real-time production, and game development.

Throughout my career, I’ve contributed to major international titles across multiple console generations, evolving from hands-on asset creation to pipeline development, art direction support, and production leadership.

Currently serving as a Principal 3D Props Artist, my focus extends beyond creating high-quality hero and architectural assets. I specialize in building scalable workflows and production pipelines for environment and prop creation, ensuring visual consistency, technical performance, and efficient cross-team collaboration.

My experience includes:

• Hero asset creation and benchmark definition
• Large- and medium-scale prop and environment development
• Modular system design and production-ready asset frameworks
• Pipeline structuring, documentation, and workflow optimization
• Cross-discipline collaboration (Art Direction, Tech Art, Level Design, Narrative)
• Outsourcing coordination, review, Feedback and quality control
• Artist mentorship and production planning

With a background in traditional arts, design, practical effects, and selected TV commercial work, I bring a broad visual sensibility to real-time production.
I’m particularly passionate about creating high-quality props and environments, as well as building systems that empower teams through clear documentation, refined processes, and mentorship.

Having worked internationally across Europe and Asia, I’m comfortable collaborating across time zones and cultures, supporting both centralized and distributed teams.

I remain committed to advancing scalable production systems and strong visual identity across AAA, AA, and independent development.
