Lead Artist

Summary

Arthur Maugendre is a seasoned 3D artist and environment designer with over a decade of experience crafting rich, immersive worlds for virtual reality, video games, and interactive storytelling. With a foundation in traditional drawing and a lifelong passion for video games, Arthur’s work sits at the intersection of emotion, technology, and visual art.

He has contributed to a wide range of celebrated immersive experiences, including the award-winning cosmic VR journey SPHERES, the sensory-driven short Umami, and the emotionally charged JFK Memento, which recreates a pivotal moment in history with powerful realism. His work on The Dawn of Art, a stunning VR recreation of the Chauvet Cave, brought ancient storytelling into the modern age—and, along with JFK Memento, helped earn nominations that led to his membership in the Television Academy as a VFX artist.

Arthur’s environments are never just digital spaces—they are atmospheric, emotionally resonant worlds designed to support powerful narratives. His approach combines technical precision with a strong artistic vision, enabling him to work seamlessly across creative, historical, and cinematic VR productions.

Beyond studio work, Arthur is an active creator in the immersive media community, participating in game jams and personal projects to continue pushing the boundaries of interactive art. He believes that VR and digital sculpture are part of a living art history—tools that make storytelling more engaging, accessible, and deeply human.

As a member of the Television Academy, Arthur continues to advocate for immersive and interactive work as part of the broader landscape of cinematic innovation.
