Emily Bélanger. Texture Artist

I grew up in Bragg Creek, Alberta and currently live in Vancouver, BC.  I’ve always had a love for video games and VFX in film, but it wasn’t until I figured out how to mod the textures in one of my games that I realized that texturing was my true passion.  I took every Media Arts or fine arts class I could in grade school where I grew to love photography as well.
 

I moved to Vancouver to follow my dreams of working in 3D and studied at Think Tank Training Centre as a Texture Artist and 3D modeler.  I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to have Justin Holt, Texture Paint Supervisor at Sony Pictures Imageworks as my mentor.  I have learned so much and it was such a pleasure working with him.

Currently I work at Sony Pictures Imageworks as a Texture Painter and before that I resided at Rainmaker Entertainment as a Surfacing Artist where I learned the art of Lookdev and honed my skills as a texture artist.

Growing up I owned 3 horses, who I loved and I very much enjoyed riding.  I was also involved in dance and swimming.​
