Summary
My name is Varun. I am well versed in Procedural Content Generation in Blender, Houdini, Unreal Engine 5 (PCG Graphs and Texture Graphs) and Maya. Including shaders, content (Buildings, bridges, roads, basic VFX) and automating workflows. I have worked with the Houdini Engine for Unreal Engine 5 before and developed some custom tools professionally at Technicolor Games.
I am also familiar with OpenGL (GLSL) and C++ (Unreal and normal) and Python, MEL, PyMel and VEX. For UI, I prefer to develop it using built-in APIs, but I do know PyQt from my freelancing projects. I am good at linear algebra and 3D mathematics having worked with 3D for about 4 years now and generally having an absurd amount of interest in mathematics.
