About VFXDoc

Who are you?

I do real-time VFX for a living since 2008 and I have worked on several projects: I Am Alive (Ubisoft), Remember Me (Capcom), Life is Strange (Square Enix).

I am currently working at Unity Technologies, making the Visual Effect Graph. I am concerned by my tools in order to make cool and optimized effects. To achieve that, I am willing to improve my knowledge, tools and workflow so nothing gets in the way of creativity.

I can also write code and scripts.

Why do you do this for free?

I think knowledge has only value when it's transmitted between peers. Knowledge kept is often necessary among people and studios for strategic reasons.

However, there is always a time for people to let it out and confront these ideas to other people's knowledge and ideas. That's when new ideas show up and the community can go on.

I have spent 10 years learning a lot from others, giving others fruit of my findings and sharing experience together with awesome people.

Now it is time I share it with you.

How can I thank you?

I think the best way is to drop me a word either on Twitter, LinkedIn or drop me an e-mail. I am a bit busy lately so do not hate me if I do not answer quickly.

If you still feel the need to give me something I do not accept money but still you can send me postcards, beers. or if you are a game or a tool developer, send me your creation!

You can also throw an eye on my Steam, GOG, Instant Gaming or Amazon wish lists.

You are wrong about (insert topic here)

And you are probably right. Everything you will find here is the fruit of my own experience but I do not claim to have the absolute truth. I tried my best to verify the information I wrote on this documentation but sometimes I can either do mistakes by writing or being totally off track.

In this case I'd be glad if you can drop me a word about this. And I would try to correct it on the website

I'd like to contribute to your documentation
