Hey! I am Björn Riemann, a senior technical VFX artist currently contributing my expertise to 10Chambers. Over the past decade, my journey in the realm of game development has encompassed diverse roles and experiences. I have honed my skills at esteemed studios including Crytek, Deck13, and Deep Silver Fishlabs, contributing to the development and launch of titles such as "Hunt Showdown" and "Atlas Fallen".
My passion for VFX lies in the exploration of diverse art styles and cool new techniques. In recent years, I have found great fulfillment in sharing my knowledge and expertise by mentoring junior professionals and guiding aspiring students in the magical craft of visual effects.

Heyo! I am Michał Potakowski (also known as Manus), a VFX artist at FX-Chamber and DVD Unicorns. I've been working in gamedev for past 7 years (4 typically as a VFX Artist or a Tech Art).
Some titles I contributed to:
‍
Immortal: Gates of Pyre, Bytebond, The Witcher: Monster Slayer, #DRIVE and tons of my gamejam games.
To get into VFX I had to be fully self-taught so over the years I learnt how important it is to simplify knowledge and aim to understand the core rather then just the surface. That's exactly what I want to share now with other people to make their journey more enjoyable!
