Hey, I'm maglucen

Technical Artist, Gameplay Developer, and 3D Artist.

What this site is for

This site is where I keep the parts of my work that are easiest to show clearly: projects, technical writeups, and short notes that I know I will want to find again later.

• Portfolio for finished or presentable projects.
• DevLog for process, implementation notes, and technical decisions.
• Quick Notes for small reusable findings, fixes, and reminders.

Everyday toolkit

Engines and tools: Unity, Unreal 5, Houdini, Maya, Substance
Languages: C#, C++, Blueprint, Python, MEL
Focus: gameplay systems, technical art workflows, tools, shaders, and VFX

How I work

• Reusable first - if something will happen twice, I want to understand whether it should become a tool.
• Procedural when it helps - I like reducing repeated work, not adding complexity for its own sake.
• Gameplay-aware art - visuals should support readability, feel, and interaction, not just look nice in a screenshot.
• Systems matter - I enjoy the overlap between tools, shaders, interactions, runtime logic, and the awkward glue in between.

What I'm interested in

I like working in the space where code and art meet: gameplay prototyping, technical art pipelines, stylized rendering, shaders, tools, and practical problem-solving for production.
