Character FX artist and real-time 3D generalist, specializing in cloth, hair and fur simulation, with nine years in production at Illumination.
I combine an artist's eye with technical depth, building Python tools and Houdini HDAs that automate the CFX pipeline and give artists more time for the shots themselves.
Before that, I co-founded The Third Studio and spent four years on real-time 3D and VR: interactive builds in Unreal and Unity, PBR assets with clean UVs and LODs, and a small team to lead, with a developer, a junior 3D artist and an intern.
A decade of contributions to world-class animated feature films, specializing in high-quality hair, fur and cloth simulations.
