SH_020Pipeline & ToolsPython / UE5

Tools I Built

Editor tooling that removes friction between layout, FX and the render farm. All Python — tkinter / PySide6 front-ends over the UE5 API.

T_01 ShotSequencerPy Pure-Python UE5.6 plugin — camera tools, asset wrangling, render setup and shot sequencing in one panel. UE5.6 · tkinter

T_02 RAVAN P4 Submit Standalone Perforce submission tool with department filters, history and connection diagnostics. Perforce · tkinter

T_03 MHGC Populator Geometry-Collection crowd placement with Poisson-disk and semicircle battle formations. UE Python · Chaos

T_04 FBX Library Browser Animation library with an OpenGL skeleton viewport and a live TCP bridge into the editor. PySide6 · OpenGL

T_05 MetaHuman Merge Combines face + body meshes via an external mayapy pass for crowd-software ingest. UE Python · mayapy

SH_030Profile1.85:1

I sit where the camera meets the pipeline.

By day I’m a lead layout & previz artist — staging camera, blocking and crowd so a sequence reads before a single frame is finaled, and leading how those shots get built. When the shot needs something the toolset doesn’t have yet, I build it.

That means Niagara systems for creature-scale FX, Chaos destruction caches, and a stack of Python editor tools that keep layout, animation and the farm talking to each other. Lately I’ve been pushing UE5 previz into photoreal output with a local ComfyUI pipeline, and prototyping toward game-level design.
