PRODUCTION PORTFOLIO

La Quimera since 2021

On the La Quimera project, I founded the VFX department and established an efficient pipeline. After that, I focused entirely on deep technical tasks in the role of Principal R&D. Below is an incomplete list of the features I implemented for the LQM project on March 2025.

FEATURE	CONTRIBUTION	ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION
Wind system	Unique universal bending algorithm, and control system.	All plants, cloths, cables
Vegetation combustion system	Prototyping, streaming algorithm in particle system.	All grass including a bush.
Artificial Reality system	Unique visual style and technical realization.	Destination point, warning, assistants. Each character and interaction object can be displayed like AR.
Ghosting effect	Visual style, C++ component.	Each character can become a ghost, with a unique material and trail behind
Holographic visual presets	Visual style, technical realization, C++ component.	Each character or props can be displayed like a hologram just by activating the preset.
Custom Lens flare system	Unique algorithm and actor with properties.
All volumetric on the project	Simulation, baking, shading, procedural forming and animation.	Clouds, smokes, streams of creeping fog, smoke grenades.
Rain system	Wet prototype, ripple simulation, tailed SubUV loop algorithm, raindrop shader based system.
Laser sight	Visual style, C++ component, shader.
Laser scanner	Unique algorithm and actor with properties.	Present on most drones, robots and scanning devices
Hit effects	Unique sparks vertex shader, core bullet algoritm, ricochet reflection algoritm, distance scale algorithm, effect template.	Modules and master materials in all impact effects.
Muzzle flashes	Unique billboard stretching shader, aim factor algoritm, effect template.	Modules and master materials in all impact effects.
Water interaction	Integration of the С++ component into all entities that interact with water, water ripple material.
Explosions	Unique screen debris system, master materials, effect template.
Molotov cocktail	Explosion actor, fire spread algorithm, flame simulation.
Screen effects	Screen effects manager, hitmarkers system. All post-processes with a complex algorithmic part.	Added 4 additional post-processes to the default stack. Engine modification С++
lightning and electrical discharges effects	Vertex shader and models.	For all electricity VFX.
Shield drones system	Drone swarm behavior, drone surface vertex animation.	First and third person system.
Level border subsystem	C++ subsystem, spline base system for setting boundaries.
Water flow baker tool	Tool for baking motion vectors to spline mesh component vertex color. Engine modification С++	Used for all rivers on the project.
Invisibility	Solution, visual style and C++ ability component.	Each character can disappear and appear with a fade effect.
Bullet tracer	Unique vertex shader	In the context of a special approach where all tracers in a frame are rendered in one draw call.
Clouds Baker tool	Tool baking shadow from selected object to shadow map.	After deleting objects, the shadow remains.
Environment Query Generator Project Point	Add cylinder to set C++

At the pre-release stages, I focused on GPU profiling. A large number of entities were optimized. Many sub-tasks were created. A significant number of solutions were developed.
