Pixel-streamed interactive experience from packaged build
Had the privilege to work with Epic Games and Safdie Architects on this monumental endeavor during my time at Neoscape. The project was a huge undertaking in many facets compared to the traditional production pipeline at the studio; but, it was a fantastic learning experience from start to finish. The scope of the project entails two architectural cinematics with about a dozen renderings from in-engine with the goal of turning this into a sample project one could download for free on the Unreal Market Place.
I lead the production from the Neoscape's side and spent majority of the project wrangling dataset ingestion, assets creation, set dressing, scene assembly, lighting, and rendering. We were able to get assistance from a few extremely talented technical artists from Epic Games developing custom procedural materials, blueprints, environmental FX; they were instrumental in providing guidance on performance optimization as new features were introduced in Lumen and Nanite during production.
