01 / Environment Art 2025 Ashfall Relay
A volcanic comms station abandoned mid-transmission — composition, lighting and set dressing carrying the story.

Environments with
intent. Tools with
a purpose.
I'm an environment and lighting artist working across film and real-time projects. Below: finished environments, lighting work, and Blender add-ons built from problems I actually had.
01 — What I do
Three disciplines, one pipeline.
Each project on this site is tagged by the kind of work it is, so you can jump straight to the part you care about.
01 03 projects
Environment Art
Finished environments built on composition, lighting, set dressing and story — each one deliberately unlike the last.
View environments 02 02 projects
Production Art
Modular kits and prop collections taken to ship: UVs, material sets, texture sheets, LODs and Unreal implementation.
View productions 03 02 projects
Technical Art & Tools
Blender add-ons shown the honest way — the production problem, the workflow before and after, and how it is built.

Proof, not promises.

01 / Environment Art 2025 Verdant Hollow
An overgrown forest shrine where the canopy does the lighting and the moss does the set dressing.

02 / Production Art 2025 Frontier Outpost — Modular Kit
A modular environment kit shipped with UVs, texture sheets, material instances, LODs and a documented Unreal implementation.

03 / Technical Art & Tools 2025 Texture Pipeline Studio
A Blender add-on that turns resolution-sorted PBR folders into working materials — with instant LOD switching.
0403 — Technical art & tools
The workflow was
the bug.
My add-ons don't start as products — they start as a repeated, annoying task in a real production. Every tool page shows the problem, the workflow before and after, a demo, and how it's built.

Credits, not just demos.
06 — About
Half artist,
half pipeline.
I started in game programming, moved into 3D, and settled right where the two meet: building environments for film and writing the tools that make that work survivable.
Texture Pipeline Studio and LinkFlow both came from production pain — PBR libraries across four resolutions, and linked libraries nobody could audit.
