Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthijs De Rijk is a technical artist and developer with nine years of hands-on experience creating immersive historical reconstructions and interactive 3D experiences using Blender, Substance, and Unreal Engine. He builds custom tools and pipelines—often scripting in Python and C#—to solve visual problems, automate workflows, and bridge the gap between artists and engineers. Comfortable in game engines like Unity and Godot and versed in procedural approaches (including Geometry Nodes), he excels at rapid prototyping and optimization for VR, animation, and explorable models. His work ranges from film environment lighting to solo studio projects reconstructing castles and speculative archaeology, reflecting a rare blend of artistic intuition and systems-level engineering. Based in South Holland, he seeks remote or NL-based roles in technical art, R&D, pipeline/tool development, or game prototyping where he can turn archival research into compelling, playable visualizations.
