Julien Pelletier

Worked on various Unreal Engine technologies in gameplay animation, including a melee combat system with detection, adaptation, and root motion. Led the development of a complete and robust vehicle system in Unreal Engine for a GTA-like game, co-designing and implementing advanced tire and simulation models. Delivered advanced physics for over 50 diverse vehicles, encompassing trucks, boats, and a

Contributed to three Far Cry titles, focusing on complex animation and physics systems, including feet/hand IK, full body IK, and custom quadruped IK. Developed blend systems for ragdolls and animation, powered ragdolls, and procedural hit reactions. Provided general engine-side support for physics features, best practices, and optimization.

Served as the main animation programmer and animation behavior developer on Patrice Desilet's game "Amsterdam 1666", building a complete and highly polished player locomotion system from scratch. Implemented Havok behavior in early Unreal Engine 4 due to its incomplete animation system. Finalized PS3 physics and networking for Homefront.

Developed dynamic hair physics simulation using SPUs and integrated Havok, adhering to best practices. Contributed to enhancing visual fidelity through advanced physics programming. Ensured efficient performance of physics systems.

Designed and implemented vehicle handling and physics for "Need for Speed Nitro" and a motorcycle racing game. Developed an innovative customizable vehicle game as part of R&D efforts. Enhanced system performance through optimization and physics integration, and developed core gameplay systems for "Army of Two" with a focus on stability and scalability.

Engineered real-time embedded systems for CF-18 aircraft weapon simulators, ensuring high fidelity and responsiveness. Modeled and simulated AMRAAM missiles on PowerPC real-time operating systems. Contributed to critical defense projects by developing robust simulation solutions.
