Deep Learning Researcher @ KRAFTON Inc.
📍 Seoul, South Korea | Nov. 2022 - Present

• Developed a scalable algorithm for collecting refined training data from large-scale 3D assets and worked with diffusion models using ControlNet and LoRA, enhancing the quality of multi-modal PBR texture generation.
• Reduced mesh processing time from hours to seconds by designing an algorithm to convert unstructured meshes into watertight forms, reducing complexity from cubic to quadratic.
• Optimized a 3D reconstruction model, generating game assets from a single photo in under 30 seconds on consumer devices. This was recognized as a top AI innovation for the upcoming flagship game, inZOI.
