I’m Jesse Nunes, an Unreal Technical Artist with over three years of experience in the industry. Most of my recent work has been on the full-length feature film Rogue Trooper, where I focused on Unreal Engine pipeline development and technical support.

During production I:

• Operated and managed the inertial MVN motion capture system, preparing and organising data for handover to the Animation Team.

• Created and maintained the Unreal Engine side of the Virtual Camera (VCAM) system, enabling the Director of Photography to capture shots seamlessly in-engine.

• Developed custom tools and scripts to automate repetitive tasks, including:

  • A Maya-to-Unreal Animation Export/Import

  • A Unreal Shot Sequence Builder

  • A Unreal Biochip Animation Importer

• Worked around Unreal Engine limitations and bugs throughout production to ensure a stable and efficient workflow.

• Administered and streamlined Perforce version control, onboarding new artists and resolving asset conflicts to keep the Unreal pipeline running smoothly throughout production.
