Concept Generation
I use tools like Midjourney to quickly generate concept art and animations. These AI-generated visuals help me define mood, composition, and style direction, serving as valuable references for further modeling, texturing, and look development.

Procedural Creation for Efficiency
Building on AI concepts, I rely on procedural tools such as Substance Designer and Houdini to transform ideas into usable grayscale maps, material textures, and geometry. This approach saves significant time on texture design, material setups, and complex asset creation, while ensuring consistency and high quality.

Smart Coding Support
When developing procedural models or FX in Houdini, I often turn to ChatGPT to help draft or refine VEX code, optimize logic, and speed up debugging. You could say ChatGPT is my secret “coding sidekick.”
