Workflow research
Explore production constraints, test approaches and document what a team needs to use a workflow.
ASHLEY AUCOIN / ATA CREATIVE
Creative R&D & automation
Research, prototypes and practical tools for creative problems that do not have an obvious solution yet.
I love technical problem-solving: learning an unfamiliar system, testing an idea and finding a practical way forward. My creative R&D work draws on real-time art, scripting, tool creation and hands-on experimentation with emerging technologies.
Where I can help
Prototypes & automation
Build scripts, artist-facing tools and interactive prototypes to test a concept or address repetitive parts of a creative pipeline.
AI-assisted production
Concept development, prompt iteration, workflow research and prototyping to assess how experimental tools can fit a practical production process.
FROM MY PORTFOLIO
Related work
My work includes ingestion tools and AI-assisted asset workflows as a Meta vendor through ATA Creative, plus research into cloth simulation, motion matching and MetaHuman retargeting at Something Wicked Games. I also built four solo games and worlds in Meta Horizon Studio.
Let’s talk about your project.
Tell me about the question you are trying to answer, the tools or systems involved, and what you need a prototype to demonstrate. It is fine if the approach is still taking shape.
