Work experience
3D engineer intern (open-source project: OpenMfx)
Since March 2022
Des Vents Clairs Palaiseau, France

Goal:

  • Introduction of the OpenMfx standard for the creation and exchange of parametric shapes as plug-ins and graph descriptions

Role:

  • Expanded the bank of procedural geometric effects available
  • Integrated the OpenMfx standard into pixar's Universal Scene Description ecosystem
  • Contributed to the support of OpenMfx effects in Blender and Unity

Technologies: C++ / C# / Python / USD / Blender / Unity3D

Projects
Simulation of deformable and rigid bodies
From January 2022 to March 2022
École Polytechnique (Implementing a scientific article) Palaiseau, France

Article: Macklin, Miles et al. “Unified Particle Physics for Real-Time Applications"
Role:

  • Implemented a particle solver derived from position-based dynamics
  • Analyzed and reported the results and limitations of our implementation

Technologies: C++ / OpenGL / CGP Library

A series of Unity3D implementations of Procedural Generation methods
December 2021
Personal Project Gif-Sur-Yvette, France
  • Implemented a method to generate planets of different shapes and colors using a multi-layered simplex noise on a sphere mesh
  • Implemented and optimized a randomized cave mesh generation application using cellular automata and graph-based approaches

Technologies: C# / Unity3D

A pipeline for applying successive layers of GPU effects on a video
June 2020
Telecom Paris (end-of-year project: PAF) Palaiseau, France
  • Built generic structures to represent different types of video effects
  • Implemented an automated system to generate shaders from effect descriptions and to handle FrameBuffer swapping

Technologies: JavaScript / GLSL / WebGL
