PRODUCTION PORTFOLIO

Please consider all publications on this blog as an integral part of my professional experience. The work showcased in these articles, along with the ideas and insights they present, is entirely my own and reflects the knowledge, skills, and expertise I have developed throughout my career.

World Makers -"MVX" (2025 - Present)

World Makers is a small independent game studio where I've been fortunate enough to work. As the only Technical Artist on the team, I've been responsible for everything from C++ programming to fire simulation and destruction systems, all built by my own hands.

FEATURE	DESCRIPTION
Base Lighting System	The core class of the global lighting system. Responsible for switching, configuring, and saving weather presets.
Local Light Subsystem	Handles the registration of light activation and deactivation, distributing updates across multiple ticks to avoid performance spikes. This subsystem is managed by the Global Lighting System.
Master Material System	An HDA-based procedural generation system for city blocks and roads, including road markings, traffic signs, and traffic lights.
Procedural City Block & Road Generation	An HDA-based procedural generation system for city blocks and roads, including road markings, traffic signs, and traffic lights.
PCG & Landscape System	A PCG and landscape material pipeline for scattering trees, bushes, grass, rocks, fences, debris, and other environmental assets. Also includes a PCG system for spawning physical actors.
Level Art & Static Mesh Pipeline	A complete pipeline for exporting and configuring static meshes in Unreal Engine, including level art workflows for asset placement, instancing, and level setup. Covers Instance Actors, Road Patches, Road Symbols, Manhole Covers, and other modular assets.
Road Collapse System	A procedural road collapse system consisting of a set of actors integrated with the Road Surface, Road Markings, and Pavement HDA systems. Supports up to 10 collapses per World Partition chunk.
Flux HDAs	Procedurally generated swirling trails that can be easily placed using splines.

To be honest, this list is far from complete. This project is where I truly became a one-person orchestra, taking on a wide range of responsibilities.

4A Games -"La Quimera" (2021-2025)

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.

Highly optimized volumetric fog material based on baked 3D normal map

Ghosting Effect Component

Heightmap-Based Indoor Rain Occlusion System

Dynamic Wetness System

A transition effect for holographic video

Vegetation Fire System

Multithreaded Ray-Tracing System for a Laser Scanner

Laser Scanner Performance Test

Lightning Effect

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 zoptimized. Many sub-tasks were created. A significant number of solutions were developed.

Frag Lab - “Eden” (2023 - 2024)

A unique experience leading an entire studio as Technical Art Director during its transition from Amazon Lumberyard to Unreal Engine. It was one of those rare roles where you arrive first, leave last, and still feel there aren't enough hours in the day.

4A Games - "Nebula" (2020-2021)

A short-lived but highly ambitious internal studio project. From a first-person perspective, the player dissolves walls with a flashlight and battles ghosts merged into floating swarms.
