Formosa - Tech Art
UE5 water material that imitates more complex volumetric rendering. Ripples around objects are done via SDF.
I built a tree generator in Houdini to generate our stylized trees and bushes.
Nanite + style allowed us to make every leaf a piece of geo.

Formosa - Tech Art
At Formosa, I truly worked as a generalist, touching and impacting most aspects of art development. For our in-house demo, I was the only person who knew UE5, so I was in charge of setting standards for artists making assets for the engine, including and especially the animation team. A lot of the hands on asset creation I did was for the environment, and I try to build stuff procedurally whenever possible.
