Acá va: --- Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my interest in joining your team as a Technical Artist. With over 20 years of experience spanning VFX, real-time 3D, virtual reality, and content pipeline development, I bring a rare combination of deep technical knowledge and strong artistic sensibility — having worked across advertising, film, simulation, and game development throughout my career. In 2014, I founded Stimulus VR, where I led the design and implementation of immersive interactive experiences for a range of clients. Most recently, I contributed as a Cinematic Artist on Silent Hill (Senscape), assembling in-game cinematics with character animation, camera choreography, and audio in a AAA environment. My skill set covers the full technical art spectrum: real-time shader development, VFX pipeline construction, optimization for VR/XR platforms, generative AI integration, and Gaussian Splatting for digital twins and immersive environments. I am fluent in Unreal Engine, hold an Oculus VR Production certification, and stay current with emerging tools in the GenAI and real-time rendering space. I thrive in collaborative, cross-disciplinary environments where precision and creativity go hand in hand. I would love the opportunity to discuss how my background can contribute to your team. My portfolio is available at vimeo.com/fcriado, and I am happy to provide additional samples or references upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration. Warm regards, **Francisco Criado**
