“If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life”

Thank you for Visiting my portfolio.

My name is Joshua Balcaceres.
I am an Art Director and Art Lead in the game industry for close to 17 years - I am also a Game Design Faculty at the Art Institute of Austin Texas.

I specialize in Gen4, Asset Creation, Training, Pipeline Optimization, PIX Capturing, Advanced Shaders, Texturing, High-Poly Modeling, Zbrush, NDO, DDO, Unreal Engine 4, and Next-Gen techniques (PS4, PC, Xbox One).

I am a devoted father to 2 lovely Boys, and Family is very important to me. My true passion has always been Games since I was 6 years old – on my black and white TV – in my native El Salvador, playing NES in between Power-Outtages caused by our Civil War.

I am proud, and yet humble about my work, I am an avid team player, and I am not afraid to ask questions or admit, I don’t know everything, simply because I love learning new things, and I really enjoy working with a team.

For 18 years I've loved and enjoyed what I do and continue to do so, I couldn't imagine to do anything else, I've been truly blessed to have a great career
