Levent Avan

I’m Levent, 3D character & creature animator with experience across games and production. I work on both gameplay and cinematic animation, using keyframe and motion capture workflows to create believable, high quality character performances. I’ve taken on lead and senior roles, where I’ve guided animation teams, improved animation quality, and collaborated closely with design, art, and technical teams to ensure smooth integration into gameplay and pipelines. Alongside animation, I enjoy working on lighting and rendering, focusing on presenting characters and assets with strong visual appeal. I also have hobby level experience in rigging, which helps me better understand and communicate rigging needs during production. In addition, I’ve been teaching 3D Animation and Game Animation, creating educational content and mentoring the next generation of artists. I’m passionate about bringing characters to life.
