@renicotterofosa
Real-Time VFX Artist at MercurySteam creating combat effects for Metroid Ravenous within performance budgets.
What I'm looking for
At MercurySteam, I author real-time gameplay and combat VFX for Metroid Ravenous using a proprietary engine pipeline. I design textures, flipbooks, and particle behaviors, integrating effects with animation events and gameplay logic to support combat readability and timing within performance budgets.
At Axiom VFX, I delivered real-time VFX, custom shaders, and look development for client projects in Unreal Engine. I also built procedural Houdini tools and HDAs, and baked simulations into Vertex Animation Textures and flipbooks for real-time rendering.
