I'm a passionate CG artist, eager to contribute to the creation of stunning visual effects. With a focus on Houdini FX, I aim to merge my technical skills and creative vision to craft impactful visuals. Although my journey is just beginning, I come with experience in SFX makeup, sculpting, and painting.

Showcase Reel

Hand-selected by the VFX Engine team

FX

For my demo reel, I chose to create FX inspired by some of my favorite film scenes. As a film lover, I wanted to explore the kind of dynamic and large scale moments that made me switch my career to visual effects.

The first shot features a lighting strike hitting rocks, triggering an explosion that release lava. I chose this concept to challenge myself with a sequence that integrates multiple simulations in a cohesive way.
The second and third shots are a continuous sequence inspired by my all-time favorite film series. I wanted to recreate the feel of epic scale by featuring a giant robot and creature with the ocean. The scene setup includes large-scale water simulation, whitewater, and mist.

I was responsible for all aspects of the shots — including FX, procedural modeling/texturing, lighting, rendering, and compositing — except for the music, the character and robot models.
