I’m Kaylyn J. Luna, an environment-focused 3D artist and visualization specialist with 4+ years of experience creating immersive worlds, architectural visualizations, XR experiences, and digital media. I love turning design intent into clear, compelling visuals—whether that’s through real-time rendering, detailed technical art, or procedural materials that add depth and realism.

I also enjoy leading creative teams and building strong production workflows, collaborating closely with client teams and cross-functional partners to make sure deliverables meet project goals. From developing shader-driven looks in Unreal Engine to producing concept art, UI/UX visuals, and promotional motion graphics, I bring ideas to life with both artistic craft and technical problem-solving.

Virtual Homecoming

A project that intersects fine art and UE5 shader development. Virtual Homecoming is my graduate capstone project where I developed a complex shader in Unreal Engine 5 that mimicked the visual style of famous Mexican painter, Frida Khalo. The project is incredibly personal and features a 3D recreation of my childhood home in San Diego, Texas, as well as a dive into the key visual motifs featured in Frida Khalo's work that serve as goalposts for the shaders.

I was responsible for creating the island and all of its vegetation assets including the beach, trees, terrain, and ground vegetation.

The Ritual

An indie game where you play as a demonic spirit that is summoned by an old lady to bring back her deceased loved ones. You must traverse her ranch property to collect items her loved ones left behind, but you can only walk in shadows. Move objects around the property to create shadows and reach your target, but don't get comfortable, because each level is a different time of day that moves the objects' shadows. I was responsible for the 3D environment layout and design, 3D asset creation, UI/UX asset creation and development. This project started as a industry-led summer course at Texas A&M University, but ultimately became a self-published title and accepted as a nominee for the 2022 Independent Games Festival (IGF) student submission award.
