Hi, Iā€™m Matty

I am a VFX and technical artist, working in the video game industry. Recently I worked at Ubisoft as a Senior VFX artist, mostly focused on creating visuals for new character abilities on XDefiant.

Previously, I worked as a Lead Unreal FX Artist, managing a team to create high-fidelity visuals for game cinematics and TV series using Houdini, Niagara, shaders, blueprints, and more. I also have a background in VR development, creating prototypes, experiments, and data visualisations for clients. Using technical skills and ideas to create beautiful art is my passion.

Also, I have a love of photography!
