Ewan Duplessis worked on the Ewan-DuplessisK/PFE_FTJ_Proto repository, focusing on building and refining visual effects and UI feedback systems for game combat scenarios. Over two months, Ewan integrated SideFX Houdini plugins and Unreal Engine asset workflows to overhaul cartoon-style BONK and Kick VFX, enhance Coffee Splash effects, and implement responsive healing and damage UI. By parameterizing assets and streamlining the VFX pipeline, Ewan improved iteration speed and asset quality, addressing issues like anti-aliasing ghosting and dithering. Using UnrealScript and advanced asset management, Ewan delivered production-ready, visually clear feedback loops that support player engagement and robust asset stability in development.
