Hi, I'm Artur Kulikov, a real-time 3D artist focused on games and AR. I specialize in grooming and hair/fur systems, and I use Houdini to build optimized assets and shaders for real-time engines like Unity, Unreal Engine, and Lens Studio. I strive to balance visual quality and performance for mobile and game environments. In my current work as a Lens Creator / 3D Artist at Snapchat, I develop real-time AR lenses with hair and fur focus for mobile platforms, build and optimize grooming setups for real-time rendering, and collaborate across pipelines to deliver scalable, reusable assets while keeping strict performance constraints.…Hi, I'm Artur Kulikov, a real-time 3D artist focused on games and AR.
