Foundations2016
Game development / education
Games as a starting point
A long-standing interest in videogames and digital art grew through personal projects and two years of game-development training at Event Horizon School in Milan.

NiccolòFenili Carravetta
Technical Art has always been the point where my interests meet: code, realtime graphics, visual experimentation and interactive experiences.
I’m Niccolò Fenili Carravetta, a Unity / Unreal Technical Artist and AI Creative Technologist with around eight years of professional Unity experience.
My work spans videogames, aerospace simulation, medical applications and AI-assisted creative production. I build the systems behind the visuals—shaders, VFX, realtime environments, procedural workflows and tools that turn ideas into interactive experiences.

01 / Career signal
One foundation. An expanding practice.
From early game-development experiments to realtime systems for aerospace and medical applications, the common language has always been Technical Art.
- Formation2018
Master program / VR RTS
BigRock
A focused master program culminating in a large VR real-time strategy final project, strengthening the link between realtime development and visual production.
- Professional development2018 / 2019
Games / serious games / small teams
Freelance production
Videogame and serious-game work expanded into professional delivery, including coordinating production with a small development team.
- Aerospace2020
Realtime simulation / Technical Art
TXT e-Solutions
Realtime applications and simulation work broadened into aerospace, including projects connected with ESA, Leonardo and MBDA.
- Interactive environments2022—2023
PC / WebGL / VR / mobile
Metaverse systems
Work evolved into cross-platform interactive environments, including Banca Widiba and the TXT Metaverse division.

AR / visualization / realtime precision
Stryker / Medtronic
Through UpSurgeOn, realtime development moved into augmented-reality tracking, surgical visualization and precision medical applications.
- Current direction2026
Unity × ComfyUI / AI-assisted production
AI Creative Technology
Technical Art now extends into generative workflows, custom LoRA training, consistent-character systems, AI-assisted assets and video, and rapid realtime prototyping through projects such as Unity × ComfyUI Creative Pipeline and The Last Layer.

Technical Art → Creative Technology
AI expands the workflow. It does not replace the foundation.
I use generative systems as production tools, connecting them with established Unity and Technical Art workflows to accelerate experimentation and build new kinds of creative pipelines.
03 / Applied worlds
Different industries.Same realtime language.
Games
Gameplay, Technical Art, environments and realtime systems.
Aerospace
Simulation, large-scale environments and realtime visualization.
Medical
AR tracking, visualization and precision realtime applications.
Creative Technology / AI
Generative workflows, production tools and rapid creative prototyping.
04 / Working method
Between art and systems.
I enjoy working at the boundary between visual quality and technical implementation. My role is often to understand what artists, designers or clients want to achieve and build the realtime systems that make it possible.
