    Worked for IGG Canada primarily in their UA Department and within their game team before leaving Canada in response to COVID-19. I modeled and textured various environment objects for their UA videos. I lit and rendered sequences within Unity and created particle systems for some videos if new particle systems were needed. Some videos I had to program specific sequences or game mechanics with Unity, I was also responsible for some shaders created for the team either in a node based workflow (Amplify) within Unity or via writing Surf or Frag shaders. The role was varied and I adapted to what was needed of me by IGG.
