Douglas Leong Connects Emerging Technologies With Asia’s Creative Pulse

We are fortunate to have witnessed Douglas's fantastic performances on several occasions. Firstly, as a trainer and workshop facilitator at the Radiance60 Unreal Engine training in Singapore. Second, as a distinguished resource speaker on several occasions at Our Lady of Fatima University, here in the Philippines. And finally, as a plenary speaker at the Sparks International Conference hosted by multiple universities and organizations in the Philippines. Douglas is a talented and dedicated expert in gaming and digital asset development. We love his flexibility, work values, and ethics. Working with Douglas is a blessing and we look forward to more projects and collaborations with him.

Douglas Leong has a true Mastery of his Art. In addition to off-the-charts technical skills, he has the unique ability to transform his vision into a reality – a “virtual” reality which is making physical reality palish in comparison. I have been at the forefront of research on cyberbehavior (human behavior in computerized spaces) since more than 15 years, and I have witnessed the evolution of virtual and augmented environments not just from a user perspective, but from the point of view of a researcher. Only a few times in my life have I been impressed by technical developments. The exposition to Douglas Leong’s work counts amongst those times.

Douglas delivered a standout and highly informative talk at the inaugural session of the Animation & VFX conference. He demonstrated such depth of knowledge and passion for Unreal Engine, and is truly an inspiration for all newcomers to the software, as well as seasoned veterans exploring real-time pipelines for the first time.

I first met Douglas in an Unreal Engine course conducted by Nanyang Polytechnic in 2022, and we crossed paths during the Virtual Production Challenge organised by Epic Games and IMDA last year. Since then, I continue to learn so much from him at every encounter, and would strongly recommend him for any organisation looking to train or upskill their staff.

I had the privilege of attending Sir Douglas' presentation on Unreal Engine, titled "How Game Engines Transform Architecture," at National Convention 49, where he showcased his expertise and passion for this powerful tool in architectural visualization.

Sir Douglas is highly skilled in Unreal Engine, demonstrating an in-depth knowledge of its capabilities and applications. His presentation was not only informative but also engaging, illustrating practical ways to create realistic architectural environments.

I highly recommend Sir Douglas as a speaker on Unreal Engine topics. His expertise and ability to communicate effectively make him an excellent choice for conferences or events focused on game development, virtual reality, architectural visualization, and interactive design.

I had the pleasure of connecting with Sir Douglas during my participation in a previous seminar titled "Unleashing the Power: Real-Time Production in the Age of Unreal Engine" at Our Lady of Fatima University in Valenzuela City, Philippines. He consistently impressed me with his expertise in Unreal Engine and its application in real-time production for filmmaking, animation, and architecture. He effectively discussed its advantages and potential in the industry.

In his session, he showcased a digital representation of the Philippine Central Post Office Building, developed using Unreal Engine. His expertise resulted in a stunning and realistic digital representation, showcasing the software's real-time rendering capabilities.

Beyond his technical skills, Sir Douglas is a fantastic speaker who always makes time to answer questions and provide valuable guidance. His passion and commitment are reflected in his dedication to every project he undertakes. His positive attitude and willingness to help fostered a collaborative and supportive environment.

I highly recommend Sir Douglas as a valuable resource for those interested in exploring the capabilities of Unreal Engine!

I got to witness Douglas speak at the 100x Conference in Seoul, Korea where he stole the show with his energetic approach to how he uses software like Houdini and Unreal Engine to create awesome worlds.

I was impressed with how he kept the entire audience engaged for the whole time he was speaking there wasn't one dull moment when Douglas was on stage!
