About Jacob

Bio

I am an expert in all aspects of 3D production, from preparing models for 3D printing to modeling, texturing, rigging, and animating hero assets for game engines. I have extensive experience with the Unreal Engine 4/5 pipeline, particularly for game development. Over the past six years, I have worked intensively in AR/VR, serving as an Art Director for VR environments and games.

I am an expert in all aspects of 3D production, from preparing models for 3D printing to modeling, texturing, rigging, and animating hero assets for game engines. I have extensive experience with the Unreal Engine 4/5 pipeline, particularly for game development. Over the past six years, I have worked intensively in AR/VR, serving as an Art Director for VR environments and games.

My preferred tools include 3ds Max for modeling, rigging, and animating, alongside Unreal Engine 5. For texturing, I specialize in Substance Painter/Designer and Photoshop, and I'm proficient in all PBR workflows. For detailed sculpting, I rely on ZBrush.

Despite my expertise in 3ds Max, Unreal Engine, and Substance programs, I noticed they aren't listed for tutoring. With 12 years of industry experience, including 10 years as an Art Director, I’ve led numerous projects for top-tier companies like Cisco, HP, and Disney.

Animation

Animation

I manage rigging using both Unreal Engine and 3D Max, tailored to the project's needs. For mechanical assets, I prefer 3D Max due to its efficiency. When working with organic models, I typically use Unreal Engine, unless morph targets are involved, which I find easier to handle in 3D Max. Once rigging is complete, I create and refine animations in Unreal Engine's Sequencer, baking them down as necessary for optimal performance.
Computer Gaming

Computer Gaming

With over 12 years of experience as an artist, I’ve contributed to a wide range of game projects. My expertise spans from creating detailed art boards and game blockouts to refining fully fleshed-out game designs. I’ve also been deeply involved in implementing specialized shaders and developing procedural elements that seamlessly integrate into the art pipeline, enhancing both visual quality and workflow efficiency.
Unreal Engine

Unreal Engine

I am a senior 3D artist with over a decade of experience specializing in Unreal Engine 5 for game development and real-time rendering. My expertise includes environment design, material creation, animation workflows, control rig setups, and cinematic development using Sequencer. I’ve led art pipelines for VR/AR and spatial gaming projects, optimizing assets for both performance and visual fidelity across platforms. I also have working knowledge of procedural content generation (PCG) and experience integrating mocap data within Unreal’s animation systems.

Deep knowledge of Unreal Engine.

Jacob and I have been working through some animation pipeline issues I’ve been having using Unreal Engine and Rokoko Motion Capture. At this point we have conducted three 1 hour sessions. Jacob was able to talk me through a process that now works for me. For past sessions he has done research on his own time for any topics he didn’t feel completely sure about. I am so happy to have Jacob as a training resource/mentor in the future. I’ve learned more in 3 hours with Jacob than I did in months working on my own.
