Matthew Board

Creative technologist

I build AI and Unreal production pipelines, then teach teams how to ship with them. Product pictures, motion, and tools that non-specialists can actually run.

Let's dig in!

How I work

Enablement, production, and tools

Recruiters should not have to guess. Enablement, production pictures, and the tools underneath are the same person — shown in the order a hiring manager can use.

AI enablement

Introduction to AI for people who have not used it at work yet, and The Anatomy of a Harness for turning a model into a repeatable job. Also taught: OpenAI in Unreal, and AI-assisted Python.

One day · five objectives

Approved photography stays the source of truth. Pixelus, Dearfoams, and the Stillion installation are the same job: generate, lock product or identity, composite what the model cannot hold, deliver 16:9 / 9:16 / 4:5.

FLUX · ComfyUI · Kling · Wan · Unreal finish

Pipelines and tools

Local agents, LoRA trainers, PBR materials, Unreal editor plugins. Built so a technical artist can inspect the Python and a non-technical user can still get a result.

MAUDE · Surfaced · UE5 Streamliners · DGX Spark

01 / Work

Start here

Three cases that cover the hire: product pictures, generative video with identity lock, and Unreal tools you can teach.

Product and motion

Pixelus

One product photo in. Campaign and social shots out. Cutout, reference-conditioned generation, and a hard rule: do not invent silhouette, materials, logos, or color.

Identity and installation

Stillion AI

FLUX LoRA trained on Stillion’s work, then a chained image-to-video pipeline with mask-locked composites. Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, 2026.

Enablement

Unreal configurator

A teaching demo for a trade-show production app: mesh and material states, Common UI, gamepad. The same job as the Streamliner plugins — make Unreal usable.

Introduction to AI — for people who have not used AI at work yet.

The Anatomy of a Harness — the frame around a model so a named job can run more than once.

Student work — selected work from students I have taught.

02 / Projects

Selected projects

Production first, then enablement, then local systems, then shipped 3D and games. Use the filters if you only need one kind of work.

Pixelus

Product photo to campaign stills. Reference-conditioned generation with product-fidelity gates.

FLUXComfyUIProduct

Pixelus Mobile

iOS client for the same product pipeline: styles, platform crops, batch campaigns.

iOSSwiftUIProduct

Stillion AI LoRA

FLUX LoRA trainer on DGX Spark. Identity lock for the Stillion collaboration and CAC install.

FLUXLoRADGX Spark

Surfaced

Text-to-PBR maps with a live Three.js preview. Materials a lookdev artist can drop in.

PBRThree.jsFastAPI

Arch-Viz

Early architectural visualization from prompts. Useful for pitch decks, not a substitute for a survey.

FluxArch-viz

Machina Prima

Marker-mech LoRA to exhibit rooms, then Gaussian splats for walkable 360s.

LoRASplatsConcept

UE5 Configurator

Teaching demo for a trade-show configurator: meshes, materials, Common UI, gamepad.

UE5Common UITeaching

Input Streamliner

Unreal plugin: describe controls in English, get Enhanced Input for keyboard, pad, and touch.

UE5C++Ollama

DataTable Streamliner

Unreal plugin: natural language to populated DataTables. Preview before commit.

UE5C++DataTables

Tessera

Literature-review tool across five academic databases. Built for people who are not ML engineers.

About

About Me

Creative technologist. I build the pipeline, then enable the team that has to run it. Fifteen years of 3D, motion, and Unreal, plus shipped client work, a Sundance-licensed likeness, and production AI systems on NVIDIA DGX Spark.

Unreal Authorized Instructor. Trained 50+ working professionals, including NASA and U.S. Army engineers. Former faculty at Miami University and Columbia College Chicago. The point is not more tools. It is a workflow a non-specialist can repeat on Monday.
