Biography
My name is Daniel Rodriguez Cadena.
I studied and finished a BA in Animation at Universidad de Monterrey 2015-2019. Learned to make a 3d Animated Short by doing one and going through all the steps. Worked as a 3D artist at an outsourcing AAA videogames Studio CGBot (May 2020 - Oct 2021). Studied Characters for film at ThinkTankTraining Centre Online (Oct 2020 - June 2021). After finishing my advanced term at ThinkTank I entered the Therookies Contest and made it as a Finalist for Rookie of the Year, for the Film category with this very detailed entry

After finising at ThinkTank and doing some freelance I worked as a 3D Generalist at RNMotion (Sept 2021- Jan 2022).
And on my freetime I´m always taking 3d courses and making studies to improve on my work. I love to play videogames, hiking, camping, working out, and take online courses :). Mostly games, being that the cinematics are the reason I chose this career path :)
