Hi, my name is Luis F. Canelas and I'm a junior 3D VFX artist with a deep passion for the world of visual effects. I have a diverse skill set that bring ideas to life with the magic of the VFX.

Biography

I cultivated my skills at the NAD – UQAC school, where I immersed myself in the world of 3D VFX. My educational journey equipped me with a solid foundation in essential software applications, including Houdini (with a strong grasp of particles, fluid dynamics, pyro solvers, and a basic knowledge of USD), Maya, Mari, and Substance Painter. This education not only developed my technical skills but also instilled in me a strong work ethic and problem-solving abilities.

Also, I've had the privilege to contribute to some remarkable projects that have allowed me to showcase my talents, projects that I’ll take a moment to talk about. As a graduation project, in the visually stunning short animated film "Dent's le Temps" I had the opportunity to create all water sequences. Leveraging my expertise in fluid dynamics and particles, I meticulously brought these scenes to life, contributing to the film's captivating visual effects. In the short film "Oasis", winner of Best Sci-Fi short at the Montreal’s Short Film Festival, I took on a pivotal role by handling compositing and creating the only 3D scene in the project. My proficiency in Houdini RBD simulation and Maya modeling / texturing skills added depth and a unique touch to the film, making the 3D scene a standout element. And finally, for the animated film "Parallelum," I tackled the challenge of constructing the environment for an ants sequence, even when I was in my second year of study. Using Houdini, I brought the dynamic environment to life with intricate details, a testament to my commitment to storytelling through visual effects.

Looking ahead, I'm determined to push the boundaries of 3D FX. My goal is to take on more complex and creatively challenging projects, continually refining my skills and innovating in the field.

Thanks!
