The Full Story

A Lifetime of Creativity

My name is Hanyue. Please feel comfortable addressing me as John.

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Games Design, specializing in Player Experience Design and focusing on 3D Environment Design. Presently, I serve as the Lead Virtual Production Technician, Stage Operator, and Project Manager at Alt.vfx, Steel Bridge Studio.

My proficiency with Unreal Engine spans across various domains, including film, commercials, motion capture, virtual production, gaming, automotive, car configuration, and architecture. Within these realms, I demonstrate excellence both as a generalist and project manager. Juggling multiple tasks and fostering collaboration among diverse teams are fundamental components of my professional repertoire. Leveraging my skills as an Environment Artist, I adeptly employ a range of tools to construct immersive and high-performance environments in real time.

In my capacity as a Project Manager, I am entrusted with pivotal decisions regarding project settings, Unreal Engine versions, and plugin selection, striking a balance between performance and quality. I oversee file management using Perforce and Plastic SCM, ensuring a meticulously organized project structure and facilitating a seamless Unreal pipeline. Often likened to a traffic police officer, I adeptly navigate project complexities to maintain efficiency and order.

Additionally, my experience extends to game and software design, where I led the development of the car configuration feature. I authored comprehensive design documents outlining menu structures, functionalities, and stylistic elements. Furthermore, as a Tech Artist, I contributed to clean model creation, material design, variant manager implementation, animations, and camera positioning. My collaborative approach with programmers enables me to offer valuable design insights and innovative solutions.

I possess a deep passion for art, music, architecture, history, culture, and film. With 15 years of dedicated study in classical music, I boast a strong musical background. Additionally, I find great fascination in automobiles. I delight in collecting limited-edition classic models and actively support my friend in managing a business specializing in importing Japanese domestic market motor vehicles. Moreover, I curate content for a personal online video channel, centering on cars and gaming, which has attracted 32,000 subscribers and accumulated 6 million views. Audi and BMW Motorrad was my Sponsors.

While currently based in Brisbane, I harbor a profound desire to embark on adventures to various countries and immerse myself in diverse cultures worldwide.
