As one of the #QLOCdragons you will be responsible for:

1. Project LOD System

• prepare proxy meshes that match the original shape and destruction setup of each asset
• build correct UV layouts within 0–1 space, without overlaps
• assign and manage projection materials such as MLastLOD or MProjectLOD
• bake texture projections, verify results, and fix errors
• support the environment team in balancing visual quality and performance across all LODs
• document and maintain guidelines for projection setups, shader assignments, and asset validation.

2. Enlighten and Lighting Setup

• configure and test Enlighten lighting types: Dynamic, Proxy, Light Probe, and Static
• choose the correct lighting type based on the asset’s size, complexity, and destruction setup
• work on semi-dynamic GI setups to reduce light leaks and achieve realistic indirect lighting
• build test scenes to debug light behavior and compare different setups
• adjust UVs, materials, and colors to improve bake quality and prevent shading issues
• collaborate with environment teams to keep visual quality and performance in balance
• identify and fix problems like light leaks, wrong UVs, or flat shading

3. Validation and Integration

• validate assets from Maya to the engine, checking naming, hierarchy, materials, and textures
• maintain the LOD and baking pipeline, making sure all steps are consistent
• communicate with artists and tech teams to provide feedback and technical support
• define validation rules for triangle limits, LOD counts, and texture resolutions
• help improve pipeline tools and workflows wherever possible.

• experience with Maya and with UE and Custom Engines
• good knowledge of lighting, LOD systems, and optimization methods
