Pick #12 — Hugo Baron builds electric visual universes for music, motion, and Renault

Today's pick: Hugo Baron (Paris), 3D artist and art director operating under the alias Nuageboi. He creates visual worlds at the intersection of CGI, motion design, and art direction — crafting live visuals for concerts, brand teasers for Renault, music videos for Warner artists, and immersive 3D content for Fnatic and Universal.

His portfolio opens with a jolt: a full-bleed lime-green screen with "HUGO BARON" in massive compressed black type, the kind of typographic confidence that signals exactly what kind of visual energy to expect. Scroll further and you get a black-and-white statement page — "PARIS BASED ART DIRECTOR / 3D ARTIST" — followed by a cinematic works reel featuring a CGI figure wreathed in neon lightning. Every frame feels like it belongs in a music video or a brand launch film.

What makes Hugo's portfolio worth your time: the work is genuinely cinematic. He isn't just making 3D renders — he's building complete atmospheric worlds per brief, from a moody architectural Renault car teaser to a VR 360° music video for rapper Kekra to a live visual set for La Cigale. The portfolio site itself is a statement, using bold weight contrasts and a single electric-green accent to unify everything.
