AN-TIM NGUYEN | VFX ART DIRECTOR

LINKEDIN | EMAIL | RESUME | GDC 2022 TALK

I am the Associate VFX Director at Escape Velocity Entertainment.

I have previously worked at places like Counterplay Games, Bungie and 343 Industries. My strengths in VFX stem from a generalist background (modeling, animation, shaders, tech art, etc.)

I have built multiple effective teams from scratch. I solve for high creative ambiguity. I am experienced across AAA, AA, live service and original IP development across PC/Console and mobile.

I want to build something worth remembering.

Built and lead VFX team from scratch. Authored visual target VFX in UE5 Niagara. Art directed VFX on Armatus in early development.

R&D and shipped bespoke VFX for Destiny 2 live service across new activities, destinations, cinematics, etc every 3 months. Each season had unique themes.

Concept modeling/rigging/animation/tech anim/VFX for all open-world activities (narrative missions + public events) for Destiny 2 launch. Iterative game prototyping to final.

Tech design integration and sandbox functionality for hundreds of outsourced props, modular sections, weapon skins, armor skins, etc on Halo 5. Fixed/optimized models and textures.
