My Bio
Hi there, welcome to my DeviantArt profile!

My name is Rico, I am Senior Vehicle Artist at Ubisoft Reflections where I am currently working on Ghost Recon Wildlands, as well as Watch Dogs in the past.

Some of you may know me as Schaefft, I've been part of the GTA community for many years where I created dozens of cars for San Andreas and IV; you can download most of my models for many other games like Need for Speed, Mafia or Worldracing 2 as well.

You can find a link to my LinkedIn profile below if you would like to get more information about me and the projects I've been working on so far.

If you want to contact me you can write me an Email (rico.hottewitzsch@gmx.de) or send me a message here. :)

Im not allowed to talk about anything since nothing has been announced yet, but those who know me should have one or another idea what it might be. ;) I'm also currently working on 2 additional vehicles for some projects Retroburn Game Studios are still working on.

Hi, if you’re still alive, do you still have that Sable model of yours?

Hi idk if you still use this site but i wanted to ask you if you still have those textured models of your "Wotw scene" from several years ago? I saw your post from google and was wondering if you'd mind sharing the saturn, chrysler etc. id like to use them for mods for the game cities skylines

Does the car even have a name?
Its manufacturer is Sumitzu but like many cars in the game, it never got a model name.

I have saw alot of your works on N.F.S. Cars and other sites. Would you be intrested in joining our site?

We are currently recruiting GTA modders so we can branch out into that field vs just N.F.S. games.
