I build game visuals, tools, and rendering workflows that bridge art direction and production reality, from stylized shading experiments to Unity editor tooling and gameplay-facing tech art.
Selected technical art case studies focused on rendering, shader behavior, and production-friendly tooling.
Experiment in making 3D scenes look like 2D paintings using "stroke-based lighting". Lighting is sampled per stroke center rather than per pixel, mimicking traditional painting techniques. Includes a custom tool for generating encoded stroke textures.

Smart NavMesh-based Unity editor tool that automatically generates snow layers with occlusion on any object type. Bakes NavMesh, extracts geometry, and extrudes to create realistic snow coverage.
View ProjectInnovative shader-based system that matches debris to terrain height while preserving object shapes. Uses vertex colors to store mesh part centers for intelligent height sampling.

Technical Artist | Shader Artist | Tools Programmer
Use this block for the strongest production example you want recruiters to remember first. Summarize the project, the team context, your exact ownership, and the visual or pipeline impact.
Your Role | Studio / Client
Short summary of the game, toolset, or initiative. Keep this to two or three lines.
Your Role | Studio / Client
Mention what you created and why it mattered: shaders, VFX, tools, optimization, or gameplay support.
Project | Role | Timeframe
Brief context, what you owned, the tech you used, and one concrete result. Duplicate this card when you want to add more project entries.
Core tools and disciplines that support both the visual side of game art and the engineering side of implementation.
I work at the intersection of artistic intent, runtime constraints, and practical production.
I'm Alla Eddine Rakik, a passionate Game Developer and Technical Artist who takes pride in delivering high-quality work.
With expertise spanning Unity, Unreal Engine, and custom rendering engines, I specialize in shader development, VFX creation, and VR experiences. My work combines artistic vision with technical excellence to create immersive and visually stunning game experiences.
From custom toon shaders and water effects to PBR rendering engines and VR interaction systems, I bring a comprehensive skill set to every project. I'm constantly learning and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in real-time graphics.

{
// Sample textures
float4 albedo = tex2D(_MainTex, i.uv);
float3 normal = UnpackNormal(tex2D(_NormalMap, i.uv));
// Lighting calculations
float3 lightDir = normalize(_WorldSpaceLightPos0.xyz);
float NdotL = saturate(dot(normal, lightDir));
// Final color
float3 color = albedo.rgb * NdotL * _LightColor0.rgb;
return float4(color, albedo.a);
