About
I’m Yu Harn (Yuko) Hwang, a 3D Environment and Realtime Artist with 3+ years of experience creating cinematic-quality real-time and rendered assets in Unreal Engine 5 and industry-standard DCC tools. I focus on environment art, look development, lighting, and PBR asset creation, building cohesive scenes that balance visual fidelity with production and performance needs.
I enjoy collaborating closely with art direction, VFX, and engineering teams to deliver production-ready work for games, film, and commercial campaigns. From shipping optimized assets for confidential real-time projects to producing cinematic content for brands like Razer and Marc Jacobs, I take pride in turning concepts into polished, believable worlds that look great in motion and meet publishing requirements.
