VFX Artist

In the rock show of game development you provide the pyrotechnics. While working with large explosions and perfecting bullet tracers are a mainstay in your daily routine, you can also breathe life into an otherwise static environment by adding fog, fire, wind, rain, or any other environmental force imaginable.
