Featured Project — Military Logistics Simulator (UE5)
Large-scale vehicle-focused simulation set in mountainous terrain. Shipped on Steam. I owned visual direction and technical implementation of the game world — from terrain and road networks to PCG dressing, photogrammetry integration, materials/shaders, and gameplay-support Blueprint systems.
My role / ownership
- Art direction for environments, lighting, and world cohesion
- World building: terrain, roads, cities, bases, POIs
- PCG-assisted environment dressing (rocks, vegetation, clutter)
- Photogrammetry pipeline (drone & DSLR scans) and in-engine integration
- Environment materials and shaders
- Blueprint world systems (events, interaction, progression hooks)
- Supervised 2 environment artists (reviews, integration, quality bar)
World building & layout
PCG & environment systems
PCG is used to scale set dressing while keeping manual control over gameplay-critical areas. Distribution logic is driven by masks/slope/biome rules, with performance-aware instancing and LOD strategy.
- Rocks, vegetation, debris, urban clutter
- Manual overrides for key POIs and player routes
- Stable performance: instancing, LODs, material complexity discipline
Photogrammetry pipeline
Scanned with drone & DSLR, processed and optimized into production-ready assets (materials, LODs, collision), then used across the world and PCG dressing.
Gameplay-support systems (Blueprints)
Implemented environment-driven gameplay systems and supporting frameworks in Blueprints, including random world events and interaction logic connected to locations and progression.
- Random world events (e.g., fires, avalanches)
- Triggers, POI logic, state hooks, debug helpers
- Close collaboration with gameplay and engineering
