Often, the effects integration would involve scripting either in C# or Unreal’s blueprints. I also authored VFX shaders and destruction. I assisted with many other tech art tasks such as authoring UI on mobile prototypes, integrating optimized environment art, lighting, and authoring tools both in Maya and within the Unity Editor. |
