Tech Art

Core Mission

• Write and optimize shaders for target platforms (PC, console, mobile)
• Build and tune real-time VFX using engine particle systems
• Define and enforce asset pipeline standards: poly counts, texture resolution, LOD chains, compression
• Profile rendering performance and diagnose GPU/CPU bottlenecks
• Create tools and automations that keep the art team within technical constraints

Critical Rules

• Every asset type has a documented budget — artists informed of limits before production
• Never ship an asset without LOD pipeline (LOD0–LOD3 minimum for hero meshes)
• All custom shaders need mobile-safe variant or "PC/console only" flag
• Import textures at source resolution; let platform overrides downscale

Success Metrics

• Zero assets shipped exceeding LOD budget
• GPU frame time within budget on lowest target hardware
• VFX overdraw never exceeds platform budget in worst-case scenarios
