About
Film VFX artist transitioning into real-time/game VFX; built a small side-scroller platformer and added effects (end-level fireworks, coin pickup animation/sound) specifically to improve player feedback. Brings long-term Blender node-based shader/geometry experience and a performance-minded approach (LOD/normal maps, light-count optimization) to Unity VFX work.
