Procedural this, procedural that
summary
Builds node-based pipelines in Substance Designer and procedural rigs in Houdini + VEX to automate textures, VFX and level dressing, shipping a crowd‑distribution tool that scales across dozens to ~100 stadiums and a mobile VFX generator that runs on decade‑old phones. Uses OSM vectors to create city‑based generative maps, a neon‑sign generator that exports animated shaders to Unity, and a 3D‑printed procedural flower that required iterative fixes but ultimately prints.
