Biography
With almost 10 years of experience in the industry, I am a VFX artist that grow up watching movies and the behind the scene shows at the TV cable channels.
Following my passion I graduated in Advertising and publicity in 2009, and started to work in a TV Station as a Motion Grapher and 3D Generalist where I stayed for 2 years.
In 2011 I decided to go one step further and improve my technical and art skills studying outside of my country(Brazil), then go to study at Gnomon School in Hollywood where is located the heart of the cg industry, and get closer to fulfill my dream of work in Hollywood Blockbusters films.
In 2015 I developed a tool that was shipped with the Mari Foundry's software, that improve texture and lookdev workflow across Mari and Maya by transferring data streamline with a click of a button and allowing artist to preview production shaders such as Arnold, Vray and Redshift in real-time on Mari's viewport. At that time no other application was capable to texture and lookdev assets in context closer to the final result in real-time.
