      I provided support to 3D Artists and VFX Artists in the creation of assets and the development of intricate shaders. This involved generating procedural workflows and crafting FX tools to enhance visual effects. Additionally, I develop production tools aimed at optimizing the pipeline. Notable contributions include integrating Perforce with Houdini for better version control and creating scene description exporters tailored for our in-house game engine. These tools significantly streamline the level design and art production processes, enabling a more efficient and collaborative environment. Show less
