Calgary Unreal January Monthly Meetup

The Unreal Calgary Community is dedicated to connecting Unreal Engine developers and enthusiasts in a casual and collaborative environment.

Our meetups are all about Unreal Engine—whether you have questions, need help with a project, or want to showcase your work, this is the perfect place to do it!

Our speaker for this month will be Nathan Jordan.

A former Veteran Rigger and Character TD turned Unreal Engine real-time pioneer, Nathan founded their own studio in 2018 and has delivered cinematics and VFX for major titles including Back 4 Blood, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Star Trek: Discovery, and 2K Games’ Judas. As Studio Lead, they’ve led projects for Fortnite concert experiences, Netflix, HBO, and Illuvium, while becoming early innovators in MetaHuman and Mesh to MetaHuman workflows, including a real-time digital double of NBA star Luka Dončić in collaboration with 3Lateral. Today, the studio focuses on high-quality cinematics and animation in Unreal Engine, recently shipping its first full-length pilot, with a debut game launching in 2026.
