Virtual World Builder & Founder
crea8or.STUDIO | NYC
June 2023 – Present
At crea8or.studio, I'm currently focused on assisting and advising brands, creatives, creators, and businesses to build immersive virtual worlds and produce compelling content using AI tools and Unreal Engine 5. My work primarily targets the film and fashion industries, with a strong interest in the creator economy, as I re-tool production and project management pipelines with modern, AI-assisted automation. This also includes extending these environments created for film and fashion into gaming, with the ability to create Fortnite Islands to engage with your audience in new ways.
I'm building workflows to combine generative AI tools, Unreal Engine 5, and traditional production methods. This involves integrating advanced avatar systems, with a focus on AI, motion capture, facial capture, and lip-sync technologies to enhance production efficiency and reduce costs. For digital fashion, I'm developing streamlined processes to connect tools like Clo3D and Marvelous Designer with Unreal Engine, enhanced by AI integrations to streamline the creation of fashion videos and ads.

Founder & Head of Product
VIRTUALhaus | Austin, TX | NYC
October 2018 to October 2022
I led the design and development of an innovative 3D marketplace tailored for the building industry at VIRTUALhaus. Our platform enabled customers to explore building products in real-time, photorealistic 3D environments, transforming the way they could visualize and select materials. Users could also generate high-quality marketing images and videos directly from these interactive scenes.
Built using Unreal Engine with a React frontend, and delivered via Pixelstreaming to web browsers and VR headsets, the platform provided a seamless and immersive experience. With a rich library of realistic home layouts, products, and materials, it was primed for future expansion into areas like Virtual Photo Studios or Virtual Movie Studios, making it an adaptable tool for both marketing and customer engagement.

I've worked with whole teams to do what Marc is capable of on his own. Now in the post-production stage of the film, Marc continues to innovate with the Engine to pull off complex and creative shots, using 3D scans of practicals he took on set, new AI-powered techniques, custom environment design and 3D animation. Marc is skilled, great to work with, and versatile, and I couldn't recommend him more."
