3d scanned MetaHuman with OpenAI API's for true Interaction
AI Character using LLM and Real-Time AI Vision
fun RnD research project... 3d scanned myself and hooked up Openai assistant API and realtime API for interaction and be a synthetic character . Motion matching for moving and lip sync,
AI Character using Openai API
fun ai NPC ...try for yourself! online hosted below :)

MAKE SURE TO UNMUTE
realTime Path Finding/LIDAR.Voxels/HOUDINI
IK system/Logic
IK digital twin training and teleop in unreal using real time pathfinding I coded in unreal
Lidar and Voxels for 3d gen for Tele-op
using voxels and lidar to give telemetric data and understanding from real world to digital twin in unreal
Procedural Building Generator
Houdini and 3ds max were used
Hybrid Data sets and SWARM Conept R&D
Exploring hybrid data generation. By blending real-world footage with advanced CGI, AI-generated videos, and motion-captured Unreal Engine characters, building data assets that seamlessly bridge the gap between reality and simulation.
Developing an R&D project for advanced swarm drone control and machine learning using Unreal Engine's particle systems, each with a persistent ID to enable intuitive swarm management.
Tello Drones RnD with Yolo Vision using Hybrid Data
Tello Drones RnD with Yolo Vision asset I trained in RoboFlow using a combo of real data (real-life videos/Image) and syntetic data (Unreal Engine simulations) to create hybrid datasets
Shows I made
The Pale Blue Dot [ep01]
an original idea I came up with and made a shot cinematic for :)
made in Unreal. Time 1.5 days
Pale Blue Dot [ep02]
second episode I made for a passion project in Unreal. Took two days to complete this video
Pale Blue Dot [ep03]
Third episode. Made in 2 days
The Pale Blue Dot [ep04]
Pale Blue Dot [ep05]
SpyNinjas Diji-Verse!!!!
made hit show with 3 other people in a few months Unreal Engine. Built a pipeline where we were able to create 10-20min of high level animation every 2 weeks

Action sequence I made in Unreal isolated
AI character for kids storytelling and teaching
RnD for spy ninja Dijiverse
My AI clone using openai for "real"time Vision
using openai API as vision...tricking the AI API .into thinking the unreal camera is a real camera , then running that through another openai LLM to describe it in character . using my Eleven Labs Voice clone
more Personal Projects 3d modeling and enviroments in unreal
1/4
Personal Project are 100% created from scratch. Everything from modeling to texturing to population to shaders, etc...
Software used: MAX, Maya, Unreal Engine, Photoshop, Zbrush
