VFX & Tech Reel 2023

A selection of the most outstanding work from my career of the last decade.

Shadow Gambit - The Cursed Crew

For Shadow Gambit I worked on every part of the game's VFX, be it style development, character skills, cutscenes, shaders and rendering. I also created the look of the water based on the Crest Unity plugin.

Shift Happens

The first major title I worked on in the startup we founded after studying. I was responsible for all the VFX, some lighting, environment and assets as well as the Technical Ar Direction of the project.

Desperados 3

I joined later in the production of this AA-title, doubling the VFX manpower :D
I was responsible for the creation of new and polishing of already existing visual effects, environment shaders and UI VFX.

Between Horizons

Another contract work project for Technical Art Direction and VFX. I created custom lighting to make the 2D and 3D style work with each other, created lots of VFX and was responsible for finding solutions for a variety of technical challenges.

Lacuna

I worked on a contract basis with the young team, creating all the VFX and did some stylized lighting tech for the project. I also gave guidance about the Technical Art Direction of the game and various challenges involved in the production.

Logo Animation

A video outro animation of my logo, intended for showcases and other video content. Created in Photoshop, Blender and After Effects.
