Giovani Magana
Senior Environment Artist at Respawn Entertainment
Giovani Magana has been working professionally in the games industry as an environment artist for nine years, with credits including The Walking Dead, God of War Ragnarök, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. He is currently working on another AAA game in progress. He is passionate about fantasy and sci-fi-style environments where he can take reality to the next level with his imagination. He enjoys making large architectural and organic elements of game environments while also enjoying creating small props that tell a story through their unique details. He primarily works with Unreal Engine for world-building. For organic sculpting, hard-surface modeling, and material creation, he utilizes Substance Designer. He enjoys working with Houdini as a flexible tool for creating detailed assets and streamlining workflows when needed. Giovani finds that being an environment artist gives him a greater appreciation for nature and has taught him to pay closer attention to how things work in the real world.
