Rodney Brunet is a digital and visual effects artist for films and video games. At Retro Studios, Brunet skinned the original Varia Suit model for Metroid Prime which was created by Mike Sneath. Gene Kohler was later tasked with re-skinning, and then recreating the entire model from scratch, resulting in that which is seen in the finished product. Brunet is not credited in the game.
Since leaving Retro Studios, Brunet has contributed to various titles, most recently serving as the lead artist for Crackdown 3. The first game Brunet was part of was Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom in 1996, where he was a 3D and graphics programmer. He is currently a senior visual designer at Microsoft, and has worked as a freelancer and with Robert Rodriguez at Troublemaker Studios.
