About Jose Manuel
We are a creative studio specialized in high-end 3D Environment Art, offering scalable co-development and outsourcing solutions for the video game industry.
As the Studio Head, I manage this profile to offer you not just individual expertise, but the full capacity of a production team. We partner with developers to build immersive worlds, handle asset production, and overcome pipeline bottlenecks without compromising quality.
Our Mission: To function as a seamless extension of your internal team. Whether you need a full level designed from scratch or a batch of optimized props to meet a milestone, Hunting Souls delivers with AA/AAA standards.
Why Partner with Hunting Souls?

- Specialized Pipeline: We are experts in Real-Time environments. We understand optimization, LODs, modularity, and texel density. We don't just make things look good; we make them run smoothly.
- Reliability & Management: You deal with a single point of contact (Studio Head) who handles QA and direction, saving you the management overhead of coordinating multiple freelancers.
Core Services:
- Environment Co-development: Full ownership of levels or biomes, from blockout to final polish in Unreal Engine or Unity.
- Asset Production: High-quality Props (Hard Surface & Organic), modular kits, and set dressing elements.
- Level Art & Lighting: Mood setting, composition, and visual storytelling.
- Optimization: Retopology, UV mapping, and material optimization for performance.
