VIRTUAL REALITY
CREATING INTERACTIVE VR APPS FOR VARIOUS INDUSTRIES
VR is growing and becoming big part of our future. It’s possible to create interactive environment to give user possibility to fully control different elements inside, in real time, in real size.
Using power and possibilities of latest VR technologies and their connection with various industries and career fields, always trying to push the boundaries.
VR is not only about games, it’s nice to have fun, but it’s even better when VR app can help people – to learn, to be better, to be ready for different situations or just to explore new things. With the Metaverse coming up, this is the future of online social communication and place, where people can spend their time together in virtual worlds.

UNREAL ENGINE 4 / UNREAL ENGINE 5
Specialization in UE4/UE5, using mainly this engine for VR projects.
EXAMPLES OF FINISHED AND SUCCESSFUL VR PROJECTS:
EDUCATION
Helping children to learn by increasing their engagement and while having fun. Laws of physics simulation or trip to space to see how Solar system works is just great. People of different professions use VR simulations to upgrade their skills without being in danger – training situations for firefighters, doctors, military, police or sport.
ARCHITECTURE
Visualization of new buildings, blocks or boulevards in real scale, so architects can see and feel them, walk around and modify them before construction begins. Apartment/house projects for real estate clients, so they can walk there, feel the space and choose final materials/equipment/furniture.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT ME
TOMAS KAFKA (Technical Artist, Senior VR Developer)
I started my career as a graphic designer and marketing specialist in 2004. After many years in this field, gaining experience about design, composition and other important things leading to making great visuals, my next logical step was 3D graphics with specialization in real-time rendering.
Strong feeling for details and technical skills took me to video game industry on “Environment Artist” and later “Technical Artist” positions and during several years I have cooperated with several game studios around the world (Germany, Italy, Russia, America…), working on different video game projects.
Last few years, during VR industry growing, I have also been focusing on making interactive Virtual Reality projects for various industries and career fields (education, health care, real-life simulation or architectural visualization) and cooperating with many companies as a “Technical Artist” and “Senior VR Developer“. Using the power and possibilities of latest VR technologies and their connection with various industries, when people can be directly “inside the action”, is currently my biggest interest – together with focusing on pushing the limits.
I’m experienced in typical parts of process such as: 3D modeling, texturing/materials, composition and project optimization in engine, lighting, VFX, coding (Blueprints). My main “tool” for all projects is Unreal Engine 4 / Unreal Engine 5, using it since 2014. After such a long time, I became specialist of this engine and thanks to my skills and passion, I’m solving advanced tasks and also providing help to newcomers. Main goal is connecting art and latest technology together, always trying to push the boundaries.
As a freelancer, I also created brand TD Fun Media, under which I publish my work and support its growth. My goal is to make TD Fun Media known as a reliable and quality brand and cooperate with interesting people and companies. Feel free to contact me if you like my work and want to cooperate. I work with end customers, companies, design studios or other freelancers.
