Odín Fernández

Odín Fernández Moreno is a senior 3D video game artist. He worked at MercurySteam from June 2015 to March 2019, and created models and textures for Metroid: Samus Returns. In a LinkedIn post titled "See you next mission", Fernández stated his hope that players of Samus Returns would enjoy playing it as much as he enjoyed working on it (see quote above). He is sometimes credited with his full name or as Odín Fernández, as was the case in Samus Returns. Fernández also made models and textures for Spacelords.
Fernández left MercurySteam in March 2019 while Metroid Dread was in development. On social media, he said it was "the last project I was involved in with Mercury Steam".Odin 3D (Odin3D). "😍 Estoy muy contento de que por fin haya salido a la luz el último proyecto en el que participé con Mercury Steam. Metroid Dread. He realizado desde environment hasta ciertos personajes hostiles importantes. 🥳 (no spoilers) ¶ Y para celebrarlo.... 👉 https://odin3d.com 50%" (Rough translation: "😍 I'm so glad that the last project I was involved in with Mercury Steam has finally come to light. Metroid Dread. I have done from environment to certain important hostile characters. 🥳 (no spoilers) ¶ And to celebrate... 👉 https://odin3d.com 50%"). 16 June 2021 1:23 p.m. Tweet. https://twitter.com/Odin_3D/status/1405214507031465999Odin (odin3d). "🥳 Hoy sale el último juego en el que he participado durante mi tiempo en MercurySteam. ¶ #MetroidDread ha contado con un gran equipo lleno de gente con talento, entre ellos muy buenos amigos. 🥰" (Rough translation: "🥳 Today comes the last game I've played during my time at MercurySteam. ¶ #MetroidDread has had a great team full of talented people, including very good friends. 🥰"). Instagram. October 8, 2021. Retrieved April 13, 2022. https://www.instagram.com/p/CUxIGg9rcRG/ Fernández is not credited in the game, presumably due to the studio's policy that only developers who work on a project for 25% of its development time receive credit.
Following his time at MercurySteam, Fernández joined Out of the Blue Games as a Senior 3D Artist for nearly a year. He is now a freelance animation teacher, offering a course through his website.
