Jadu AR
Jadu AR is an augmented reality company building immersive mobile games. During my time there, I contributed to the development of two published games: Jadu: Fight in AR and PANIC. As a lead tech artist, I led the development of shaders, visual effects, lighting, and post processing for both projects.
Summary
Panic: AR Shooter is an augmented reality mobile game that transforms your real-world physical surroundings into a monster-infested battle map.
My role on this project was Lead Technical Artist and VFX Artist. I worked closely with our 3D artists to match the stylized art direction and implement it.
The biggest challenges involved finding a visual style that is both performant enough for mobile AR, and that also blends into the real world seamlessly with the help of post processing effects.

We also built out a selection of unique characters with special abilities.
My role on this project was Lead Technical Artist and VFX Artist. I collaborated closely with creative directors and 3D artists to explore different art directions, and worked closely with developers to implement all effects.
