About me:

I’m a 3D Artist specialized in Unreal Engine, with additional experience in compositing using Nuke. My work focuses on creating visual effects, mechanics, animations, and immersive 3D environments that are not only visually compelling, but also capable of telling stories and creating emotional connections with people.

My goal is to craft visual narratives through digital media. I’m highly detail-oriented, passionate about what I do, and committed to helping others bring their stories to life — a mindset that has also led me to work as a university professor.

Use of QuickMagic for Cinematics

QuickMagic is an AI-based motion capture tool that transforms video footage into character animation for Unreal Engine and real-time cinematic workflows.

Step 1 — Select Footage

Choose and upload the video footage that will be used for motion extraction and character animation.

Step 2 — Review & Import

Review the generated motion capture data, refine the animation if needed, approve the result, and import it into Unreal Engine.

Step 3 — Create Animated Sequence

Apply the animation to the character rig and build cinematic sequences inside Unreal Engine for real-time playback and rendering.
