Introduction While working together with Prompto, my biggest task was generating a Blender scene from an Unreal level. Even though both software packages know the same abstract concepts like light, materials and objects, the implementations were very different. I had to reverse engineer the Unreal level to its core in order to rebuild it from …
For the biggest chunk of my time here, I was developing a system for monitoring and predicting task durations on virtual machines. The first part of the project was gathering data from these machines and their tasks, as well as making sense of it all by visualising and interpreting said data. I then was able …
During my Data Management course at Howest University, we learned the ins and outs of the Data Manupilation Language. Translated: CRUD. Translated: Create Read Update Delete. However, to access your database, and be able to execute these queries from your serivce (like a website), an exact replica of each database table has to be created. …
For my second assignment at Prompto, I was tasked to develop an automatic thumbnail generator. The idea is to be able to see what a 3D scene / object looks like, without having to manually open the file and look around. The script will open the file for us, ahead of time, and analyse whatever …
For demo videos, Prompto wanted the offline rendering power of Blender, to be able to process a scene created in Unreal. While carrying over most of the data is quite easy, the materials are a big problem. There is no obvious way to package these up in a mutually understood filetype. Unlike the geometry, which …
Lately I have been seeking opportunities to apply the knowledge gained at my studyprogramme MCT. We’ve been getting courses on Fronted, Backend and MySQL. I have been following some additional courses on C# ASP.NET in my free time as well. However, for this project I opted for Flask. The main reason being that it is …
I’ve been working with 3D applications for over 5 years now, and since the start, I’ve always been intruiged by the possibilities of automation and programming. I decided to proceed this curiosity and I feel like it is finally time to spread my knowledge, and give back to the community. Over the years, I have …

After meeting the amazing team of Prompto at my old university, we decided to team up to automate and simplify their 3D asset pipeline as much as possible. During my time here, I have created an asset validation system, which will validate over 30 criteria. This script can run in batch, in order to reduce …
After an amazing internship at Outpost VFX I got inspired and intrueged by programming. We had seen quite a bit of programming in my Computer Graphics degree but it was always very much tied to CGI. At Outpost I discovered the joy of programming something that existing on its own. After coming home from the …
