Zoo Life Simulator

Zoo Life Simulator – Unreal Engine Optimization & Technical Art

Zoo Life Simulator is a simulation game where players design, build, and manage their own zoo. The game focuses on animal care, habitat creation, and visitor management, allowing players to develop and expand a fully functional zoo environment.

In this project, I contributed as a Junior Unreal Engine Developer / Technical Artist, primarily working on performance improvements, asset optimization, and visual presentation within Unreal Engine.

My work focused on improving scene efficiency while maintaining visual quality.

Key Contributions

• Asset Optimization
  Optimized various environment assets and meshes to reduce unnecessary polygon density and improve overall scene performance.

• Material and Shader Optimization
  Improved material setups and reduced shader complexity to lower GPU cost while preserving visual fidelity.

• Unreal Engine Performance Optimization
  Contributed to overall performance improvements by optimizing scene elements, environment assets, and general rendering efficiency.

• Environment and Scene Improvements
  Assisted in refining environment composition and improving visual consistency across multiple areas of the game.

• Cinematic Capture and Presentation
  Created in-engine cinematic captures and visual presentations using Unreal Engine’s cinematic tools.
