Alex Tyagniryadko

Senior Environment Artist and Unreal Engine Generalist

Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

Summary

I am an experienced 3D Environment Artist and Technical Artist with a strong background in Unreal Engine, 3ds Max, Houdini, SpeedTree, ZBrush, and Substance Suite. My expertise spans asset creation, material blending, procedural workflows, set dressing, and lighting, with additional skills in shader development, VFX, and Blueprints.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to AAA games, VR experiences, and high-profile film and TV productions, including Masters of the Air, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remaster, and immersive VR projects like the Nissan Ariya VR ad. I have also independently developed two games, Lost in Red Valley and Underground Odyssey, further refining my ability to take projects from concept to completion.

As a Lead Artist, I have experience managing teams, collaborating with outsourcing partners, and optimizing workflows for efficiency and visual fidelity. Passionate about pushing creative and technical boundaries, I thrive in crafting immersive, high-quality worlds across multiple platforms.
