Google Meet AR Filter
For a project with Google Meet, I was responsible for 3D modeling in Maya, using concept art or reference images provided by the client. After modeling, I textured assets in Substance Painter and converted them into interactive filters using Blender, Three.js, and Google’s proprietary Effects Studio engine. Working on multiple filters simultaneously, I adapted to a wide range of styles, from stylized to realistic. Each project presented unique challenges, enhancing my problem-solving skills and ability to optimize assets for real-time applications.
