UE5 Consulting

I offer very short-term Unreal Engine 5 rendering consulting services.
I have capacity for a maximum of up to 20 hours per month.

Many studios that use UE5, especially smaller and medium-sized, do not need specialized rendering engineers working full-time. They need occasional rendering work done that sometimes might require introducing small changes to UE5’s rendering engine. This is where I come in.

I specialize in tasks that align with my existing experience, allowing me to deliver solutions quickly and efficiently without lengthy research that would increase costs or delays.

My credentials

I have been working professionally as an engine/graphics programmer for about 15 years now. I spent 3 years solely in the capacity of a full-time rendering engineer working with UE5 (at Flying Wild Hog). You can read more about my experience here.

What I can help you with

Here are a couple of things that I can help you with:

  1. Extending GBuffer with additional parameters/data.
     
  2. Implementing natively a new shading model as per your specification.
     
  3. Exposing pixel’s velocity (World Velocity) as a node/block in the material editor.
     
  4. Do you use hidden emissive light meshes and would like them gone from reflections (both hardware and software Lumen)? I can help with that.
     
  5. Adding a new global parameter/texture accessible in all materials without additional cumbersome resources binding.
     
  6. Improving volumetric fog quality, like this.
     
  7. Adding a new property to all static meshes.

These are just examples so that you get a better understanding of the type of work that I can do for you. I can help you with many more things of that kind.

Implementing any item from the list above should not take me more than 1-4 hours.

Price / Rate / Payment

I charge 100 USD / hour, with a minimum of 1 hour.

Payments are processed through Teachable, a legitimate platform that automatically handles taxes. After delivery I will send you a purchase link for the exact hours billed.

If your company has a registered tax ID, I can issue a formal invoice for wire transfer instead.

Payment is due within 7 days of delivery.

How does it work?

Here’s how the process typically works:

  1. (Optional) You send me an e-mail with an NDA.
     
  2. (Optional) I write you back with the signed NDA.
     
  3. You send me a description of the work you want done.
     
  4. I write you back to confirm whether I can take on the work and provide a time estimate.
     
  5. You decide if you want the service.
     
  6. If you want the service, I do the work.
    If possible, I would want to work on the vanilla version of UE5 but in case I would need access to your project you can set up a remote station/connection for me.
     
  7. I deliver the work.
     
  8. You pay for the delivered work within 7 days.
