Technical Artist - Kavalri Games - Equestrian Mobile Project
2023 Agu - 2026 Jan
• Designed a dual-pass stylized hair shader with fulllighting support, enabling artists to flexibly adjusttone, gradient, highlight width, and surface noisedirectly in materials.
• Co-developed with designers a highly customizedDecal-based procedural pattern system, inspired byreal-world horse genetics, generating decals andbaking them into optimized textures for mobileruntime.
• Built Unity editor tools for pattern preview andtexture baking, improving artist iteration speed andreducing resource size.
• Created a mask-merging utility and optimized UIrendering to improve memory efficiency on low-enddevices.
• Supported stylized mobile VFX production, andenvironmental interactions designed for real-timeuse on mobile hardware.
