Antonio Cappiello

I'm Antonio Cappiello and this channel is a collection of my real-time VFX artworks, breakdowns, and tutorials focused on creating visual effects for games.

My passion for art and videogames began with my first Commodore 64 and eventually led me to a professional career in the game industry. I worked as a VFX Artist at Reply Game Studios, contributing to titles such as the VR experience Theseus and the hack & slash game Soulstice, using tools like Houdini, Substance Designer, and Unreal Engine. I later joined Riot Games as a Senior Character VFX Artist on VALORANT, then continued as Senior VFX Artist at Elodie Games on Seekers of Skyveil, and as Principal VFX Artist at Yuga Labs.

On this channel, I share workflows, techniques, experiments, and production insights behind modern real-time VFX, blending artistic vision with technical execution.

I’m also the founder of Gloompix Studio, where I create advanced real-time VFX courses designed to empower the next generation of artists.
