About Bryan Mentock

Virtual Art Department technical artist / pipeline engineer for the last couple years, pushing the limits and always improving prior processes. Knowledge of VAD teams and working with LED volumes, as well as utilizing Unreal Engine for next-gen implementation for VR and virtual productions. Previously, a cinematic technical artist dancing the line between creative artistry and technical prowess. Nearly a decade of game industry experience. Worn many hats and developed my career through a thirst for knowledge and learning new skills-and utilizing both halves of my brain with the desire to quench both the artistic, creative hunger and the technical thirst to decipher difficult problems and overcome them with efficient solutions. Positions fulfilled: Vehicle Artist Lighting Artist Cinematic Artist Cinematic Technical Artist VAD Pipeline Engineer VAD Technical Artist Skills range from content creation (modeling, texturing, shading, lighting, sketching, storyboarding, previs, animating, video editing) to tools support and workflow/pipeline development (efficiently optimizing workflows and pipelines to better integrate cinematic content from source to game), which involved a transition from artist to technical artist where I began training in Python, MEL, and used node-based Visual Scripting. Unreal Engine development on virtual productions / virtual art department, and preparing for LED volume loads.
