ABOUT KEVIN APPEL
I\'m a Technical Artist focused on AR/VR/MR with a deep passion for creating compelling visuals and experiences that connect with people. In my 10+ years of experience I\'ve often worked on small teams facing lots of unknowns and tight deadlines: from the fast-paced world of TV advertising to the ambiguous and infinite possibilities of Mixed Reality, I\'ve become well-versed in various content production pipelines and do whatever I can to help my teams excel.I can wear a lot of hats, but ultimately I\'m in my happy place whenever I can work with similarly passionate people to bring something new and incredible to life. Specialties: AR/VR, Look Development, Content Workflows & Asset Production, Shading, Technical Animation, RiggingSoftware: Unity (C#), Maya (PyMel), Zbrush, Unreal, Substance Painter/Designer, Adobe Creative SuiteMore-Than-Software: Communicating effectively with artists, designers, PMs, and engineers. I also earnestly love learning new concepts and tools, teaching, and spend quite a lot of time thinking about how I can apply ethical design and development practices in my work.
