Filip Vencelides

I build tools for 3D graphics and game development. Over a decade of modding Vietcong led me from making maps and writing scripts to developing modding tools and exploring real-time rendering.

Based in Brno, I work as a Junior Game Programmer at Ingame Studios while studying Visual Informatics at Masaryk University, specializing in Game Development.

Who am I?

Game modding & tools

I have over a decade of experience in game modding, with in-depth knowledge of Vietcong and Hidden & Dangerous 2, including their underlying systems, asset pipelines, and engine limitations. I have created and published 10+ multiplayer maps, developed custom modding tools for games with no official modding support, including my own OpenGL-based 3D level editor for Hidden & Dangerous 2 – Lutsip LS3D Editor released at 18.

Alongside this, I have extensive experience developing Blender addons for working with custom file formats and engine-specific data, often involving reverse engineering of proprietary file formats.

Professional experience

I work as a Junior Game Programmer at Ingame Studios. Previously, I spent four years at ICE Industrial Services developing a slicer for 3D concrete printing, gaining experience in real-world 3D tooling and software development.

Studies

I completed my bachelor’s degree at 22, with a thesis focused on development of a lightmap generation tool – a project that brought me back toward game development. I am now continuing my studies in Game Development within the Visual Informatics program at Masaryk University.

How it started

My journey began at an early age, experimenting with game environments and creating content, eventually leading me into programming, 3D graphics, and reverse engineering 3D file formats.

3DCP Slicer Development

I began my professional career at the age of 19 as a Junior Software Developer at ICE Industrial Services, a Czech-based company, where I was involved from the very beginning in developing a software solution for print path design and data preparation for 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP), a project that has since evolved into Coral Construction Technologies.

During my first month, my work focused primarily on backend development, including API design and communication between microservices. However, leveraging my background in 3D graphics, I quickly transitioned to developing a custom in-house 3DCP slicer, built entirely from the ground up.

The result is a tool that seamlessly integrates slicing capabilities into the Grasshopper environment within Rhino 3D, enabling designers to work directly within their familiar workflow. This allows them to procedurally generate print paths from their own geometries, which can then be fabricated using Coral’s 3DCP technology.

Through this work, I rapidly progressed from a junior developer to the lead developer responsible for the 3DCP slicer, taking ownership of both its architecture and implementation.

These experiences have given me a strong foundation in software engineering, a high degree of independence and ownership, as well as hands-on experience in cross-functional collaboration and direct communication with end users to refine requirements and workflows.

In addition to my work on the slicer, I also contributed to the development of various internal tools aimed at optimizing company processes and improving overall efficiency.
