We’ve actually had a number of interviews with Wiktor Öhman. He is an extremely talented guy. Apart from working with Quixel, he also contributed to games like FarCry 3 and The Solus Project. He’s been working with Unreal Engine since 2007, so he knows it basically inside out. You can check out his portfolio on Artstation.
