Stephen Jameson is a Principal Effects Artist at Firaxis Games. He possess expertise in texturing. Colleagues describe him as "As the lead principal FX artist on XCOM, Jameson has brought the worlds of XCOM to life with FX that have dazzled the entire team. His methods go far beyond the typical smoke and particle explosions of your typical game FX artist: I’ve seen him used advanced calculus to script out supernatural alien effects, and he’s even got entirely procedural birds and rats running around in the levels! But what I like most about Jameson is the extremely indispensable asset he’s been for the cinematics on XCOM. I’ll give him a scene and a couple days later, I’ll be shocked and awed at all the ways his FX helped bring the sequence to life. (When I asked him for J.J. Abrams style lens flares he kicked out some of the coolest ones I’ve ever seen in a video game!) Finally, Jameson has been extremely helpful and flexible, often being my go-to guy to help me troubleshoot all kinds of Unreal Engine oddities. He’s technical, artistic, creative, flexible, and fun to work with!", "Steve is a pleasure to work with, nothing but good things to say! This guy can do it all from technical art, to FX, to character rigging, etc. He provides top-tier artwork when it comes to the Unreal Engine, especially with explosions =)", and "Steve is an amazing 3D, Texture and Particle Effect artist. He quickly created assets of a quality that consistently exceeded anything we had imagined. Dedicated to his work, I would not only recommend Steve for his artistic traits, but also for his personality. Easy to talk to and toss ideas back and forth with, it was a great pleasure to work with him."
