About
I’m Aleksandra Kuc, a 3D Environment Artist based in Kraków with 3+ years of professional experience in Unreal Engine 5. I focus on creating and optimizing real-time environments—building PBR assets, composing scenes, setting up lighting and atmosphere, and tuning performance with tools like Lumen and Nanite.
I also enjoy sharing knowledge and improving workflows through teaching and mentoring. Alongside my work as an Unreal Engine educator and technical designer, I bring an architectural background to environment art and real-time visualization, aiming for a strong visual quality, efficient production process, and gameplay-ready worlds.
