Professional Overview
I am a highly skilled 3D character animator and dynamic animator for VFX and various objects, with over 12 years of experience in computer graphics. Thanks to my professional experience, I have the skills to create stunning artistic 3D character animation, both for games and cinema. I also have the skills to solve non-standard problems, mixing automation, rigging, key, procedural, and dynamic animation. I also have a high level of anatomy knowledge, allowing me to create incredibly natural 3D character animations.
I know dynamic 3D animation. These skills allow me to create realistic animation of fabrics and hair for characters, and stunning dynamic animation of objects, from the beautiful turning of a book to the pouring of water, bulk materials, and liquids, which also allows you to animate the world around the character.
All these qualities have allowed me to successfully create amazing animations and cool content together with various teams and artists for the partners I have worked with Gameloft+Disney, AB Games, Playrix, Graviteam, Deveard, etc. I am excited to join an ambitious and talented team of artists and developers to create cutting-edge CG and bring my experience and artistic vision to a new challenge
