Movies like The Matrix<\/i> and The Lord of the Rings<\/i> inspired a lifelong journey in computer graphics for Piotr Skiejka, a senior visual effects artist at Ubisoft.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

<\/a>Born in Poland and based in Singapore, Skiejka turned his childhood passion of playing with motion design \u2014 as well as compositing, lighting and rendering effects \u2014 into a career.<\/p>\n

He was recently named a winner of the #CreateYourRetroverse contest<\/a>, in which creators<\/a> using NVIDIA Omniverse<\/a> shared scenes that flashback to when and where their love for graphics began.<\/p>\n

Skiejka uses the Omniverse real-time collaboration and simulation platform for his 3D workflows when designing animation, film and video game scenes.<\/p>\n

Over the past 13 years, he\u2019s worked on the visual effects for a filmography of nearly two dozen listings<\/a>, including Marvel\u2019s Avengers<\/i> and an episode of Game of Thrones<\/i>, as well as several commercials and video games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoy learning new workflows and expanding my creative knowledge every day, especially in such an evolving field,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Skiejka\u2019s creative process begins with collecting references and creating a board full of pictures. Then, he blocks scenes in Omniverse, using simple shapes and meshes to fill the space before taking a first pass at lighting.<\/p>\n

After experimenting with a scene\u2019s different layers, Skiejka replaces his blocked prototypes with high-resolution assets \u2014 perfecting the lighting and tweaking material textures as final touches.<\/p>\n

Watch a stunning example of his creative process in this video, which was recognized in the NVIDIA Omniverse #CreateYourRetroverse contest<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

According to Skiejka, the main challenges he previously faced were long rendering times and slow software feedback when lighting and shading.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, with NVIDIA RTX technology<\/a>, render time is greatly decreased, and visual feedback occurs in real time,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Omniverse Kit<\/a> framework and the Omniverse Nucleus<\/a> server are superb game-changers and perfect additions to my workflow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skiejka\u2019s favorite feature of the platform, however, is the Omniverse Create<\/a> scene composition application. He said it\u2019s \u201cpacked with valuable extensions, like PhysX<\/a> and Flow<\/a>,\u201d which he used while designing the retroverse scene above.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope I showed the spirit of childhood in my #CreateYourRetroverse video, and that this artistic time tunnel between the past and present will inspire others to showcase their experiences, too,\u201d Skiejka said.<\/p>\n
