A driving playground01
Drune
An open landscape, a car, and the freedom to find your own way. An experimental multiplayer driving playground.
Omar Mudhir · Graphics programmer & game developer
A little code.
A whole lot of world.
I build games, graphics engines, and tools for artists.
This is where I share the things I make, and what I learn along the way.
At the intersection of
technology & imagination.
01 / Things I'm making
Games to explore. Tools to create.

PanoPainter
Painting and animation tools for immersive 360° art. Made for artists who want to step inside their ideas.

the process.
Decisions, experiments, and the occasional rabbit hole. Notes on making pixels do interesting things.

A person behind the pixels
Engineer by craft.
Curious by nature.
I'm Omar. My work lives somewhere between low-level graphics and the worlds they bring to life. My interests wander through videogames, art, music, and the tools that help people create.
