• Metro Exodus at 4a-Games

  Malta

  September 2015 - Present

  1. The system of human eyes in the game (research, experiments, joint work with a programmer, modeling, shading, texturing, in-editor setup, etc). The eye shader may well be the single most complex shader in the whole project, even through not all of the results of our work ended up being used in the release version of the game.
  
  2. Proposed and implemented ways of improving the detail level and realism of faces and hands of human characters in Metro Exodus.
  
  3. Created a line of human character heads. Some of them were scanned by me, the others were made based upon scans we purchased, and yet others were created without any scanned data used.
  
  4. Photo-scanned and created hands for the HUD and for male human characters.
  
  5. Human face expressions: photogrammetry, sculpting, texturing, shader setup in the game engine.

• Freelance Character Artist at 4-A Games

  Kyiv, Ukraine

  January 2007 - February 2007

  As Freelancer, I have created several 3D heads with portrait likeness of 4a-Games employees for the Metro 2033 game. As you know, at that time (2007) there was no such technology as photogrammetry, so similarity was achieved by visual comparison of their photos and 3D models in the software viewport. Few screenshots from Maya viewport https://koreyba.art/projects/EVORr2 https://koreyba.art/projects/lVLwVV https://koreyba.art/projects/nQ1mwo
