Thomas Iché is a Realtime VFX and TechArt Expert/TD based in Paris with 11 years of experience crafting high-fidelity visual effects and tooling for Unity. He blends artist-level sensibility with shader and scripting skills (HLSL, C#, Python) to deliver performant realtime rendering, node-based texture tools, and improved VFX pipelines. As a self-employed specialist he has contributed to prominent Unity projects—Visual Effect Graph samples, VFX Toolbox, and the Spaceship Demo—fixing rendering issues, building GUI and shader templates, and upgrading scenes for HDRP. His open-source work on Mixture and other repos shows a knack for practical fixes (sRGB, cubemap UVs) and expanding editor tooling, while occasional embedded work (Bangle.js apps) reveals a curiosity for constrained-device UX and optimization.
