Maya Chen has spent the last three years redefining how volumetric lighting works in high-stakes gaming. As a Lead Technical Artist, she has moved away from flat sprites to fully realized 3D environments that react to player wins in real-time.
Dynamic Lighting
Using Ray-Tracing 2.0 to make gold coins reflect actual room lighting.
Haptic Integration
Syncing 3D visual pops with tactile controller feedback for deeper immersion.
