Osman Hegazy · Senior 3D Visualization Lead
Architecture, rendered real-time and AI-native.
I turn architecture into images, films and worlds you can walk through, and I build the real-time and AI pipelines that make it faster.

01 — What I do
One lead, four disciplines.
Production-grade arch-viz is the foundation. Real-time, capture and generative AI are how my team and I do more of it, faster, and in new formats.
Arch-viz production
Photoreal interiors, exteriors and launch films for developers, from model to final grade.
Real-time & VR
Walkable Unreal Engine scenes and VR experiences that let buyers stand inside a unit before it exists.
AI video & imaging
Generative film, previz and image pipelines that turn weeks of production into days.
Agentic 3D & capture
Professional Blender modeling, LLM agents driving Blender over MCP, and Gaussian-splat capture of the real world.
02 — R&D Lab @ Nawy
New tech, shipped not just demoed.
As CGI & R&D Team Lead I run a lab inside a PropTech company. We test what's new, keep what works, and put it in front of buyers.
Gaussian splatting & maquette digitization
Developers own beautiful physical maquettes and finished sites that never make it online. Photos flatten them, and full 3D rebuilds take weeks.
Approach
- Wrote a repeatable 360° capture plan: 126–360 RAW frames per model in a 2–4 hour session.
- Process RAWs in Darktable, align and reconstruct in Metashape, and train Gaussian splats in Postshot.
- Bring the result into Blender and real-time viewers for cinematic flythroughs and interactive views.
Outcome
Physical maquettes and real places become navigable 3D far faster than a full rebuild, ready for films, the web and sales screens.

03 — Films
From CG launch films to AI cinema.
My AI music video “Candle In The Wind” has passed 160K views. The same eye for pacing and light runs through my architectural films.
Directed with AI video generation: music videos, a short film, a trailer and an ad.

A modeler first, a lead second.
24 production-ready PRO models on 3dsky, from Armani/Casa, Gubi and Established & Sons furniture to decor and photoreal food. Proof I still ship at the asset level.
Clean topology, real-world scale and ready-to-render Corona/V-Ray materials. Every model here is modeled, textured and lit by me and sold as a PRO asset.

Osman Hesham Hegazy
Senior 3D Visualization Lead · Cairo, Egypt
BSc, Computer Engineering
Higher Institute of Computer Engineering & Information Technology, 2010 – 2015
Arabic (native) · English (professional)
3D visualization lead with 10+ years and 200+ delivered projects for Emaar Misr, Madaar, Ora Developers and architects Raef Fahmy and Ayman Abbas. I've led and mentored 20+ artists. At Nawy, Egypt's PropTech platform, I lead a 7+ person CGI & R&D team that ships production arch-viz alongside new technology: Gaussian-splat capture of sites and maquettes, an interactive sales platform (map → unit → compare) and Unreal Engine VR walkthroughs. I build AI into the pipeline, from AI video generation and ComfyUI/Flux workflows to agentic Blender modeling with LLMs over MCP, and my independent AI films have passed 160K views. I'm a professional 3ds Max and Blender modeler with a computer-engineering degree.

Nawy
Cairo, Egypt
CGI & R&D Team Lead
I lead the team that produces all visual content for Nawy's property marketplace and runs its 3D/AI R&D.
- Lead a 7+ person CGI & R&D team. I own planning, budgets, quality and the production pipeline, and I've built an Agile, review-driven team culture.
- Co-built an interactive sales platform: buyers navigate the master-plan map, open an individual unit, and compare units side by side.
- Brought Gaussian splatting and photogrammetry into production. We digitize physical maquettes and real sites into navigable 3D (Postshot, Metashape, Blender) using a repeatable 360° capture plan.
- Developed immersive VR experiences and real-time walkthroughs in Unreal Engine (ZED West, Ayla, Ora interiors) that let buyers explore properties at true scale.
- Built an AI video and imaging pipeline (AI video generation, ComfyUI/Flux) for launch trailers, social films and fast concept visuals.
- Prototyping agentic 3D workflows in which LLM agents drive Blender over MCP to block out scenes, assemble assets and batch repetitive modeling.
- Produced cinematic launch animations and walkthroughs for developer projects, including a high-rise animation used to present the design to investors.
- Run ongoing tech scouting: the team trials new tools as they ship and folds the winners into our pipeline.
