- Develop and maintain real-time shaders and materials for characters, environments, terrain, decals, and visual effects using Unreal Engine rendering pipelines. - Create, implement, and refine gameplay-driven VFX using Niagara, including environmental effects, character trails, and dynamic gameplay feedback systems. - Design and maintain dynamic visual systems such as weather effects, hero ability trails, and environmental interaction feedback. - Optimize 3D assets, shaders, textures, particle systems, and gameplay logic to meet performance targets while maintaining visual fidelity. - Conduct performance profiling and debugging, identifying bottlenecks in rendering, effects systems, and scene complexity. - Collaborate with artists, designers, and programmers to ensure visual consistency and stable real-time performance across game environments.

- Developed material and shader solutions for environments, characters, and visual effects to support both stylized and realistic rendering styles. - Designed and implemented gameplay and environmental VFX, including ability effects, atmospheric elements, and interactive environment feedback. - Created character rigs and animations, including animation retargeting and integration into gameplay systems. - Modeled environment assets and props, ensuring they were optimized for real-time use across multiple platforms. - Developed procedural tools and workflows for generating game locations and environment layouts. - Performed cross-platform optimization of 3D assets, shaders, and rendering systems to maintain performance on different hardware targets.

Shader Development: - Designed and implemented custom shaders for characters, environments, terrain, decals, and visual effects. - Optimized shader performance across different texture pipeline configurations, including channel packing and material complexity reduction. - Developed visibility systems for player characters, ensuring the hero remains visible when occluded by environment objects through transparency and masking techniques. Scene and Environment Development: - Built game-ready scenes and environments based on technical specifications and concept references. - Set up lighting, rendering layers, post-processing pipelines, and baked lighting systems to achieve the desired visual atmosphere. Asset Optimization: - Optimized 3D assets and textures to meet polygon budgets and memory constraints while preserving visual quality. VFX Production: - Created flipbooks and custom meshes to integrate complex effects into real-time scenes efficiently. - Developed real-time particle effects in a realistic dark fantasy style for characters, enemies, and environmental interactions. - Produced advanced real-time effects involving mesh deformation, including organic destruction and environmental reactions. - Designed lightweight destruction and environmental response systems for interactive objects reacting to player actions. Shader-based Effects: - Implemented shader-driven effects, including magical barriers, energy fields, portals, and stylized liquid materials.
