Biography
I am Martina Natali it could be sound "standard" that my passion are films and cartoons that has grown in me since I can remember.
My first animated film’s memory is the day that I watched Dumbo’s cassette and from that moment on forward I never stopped dreaming about doing cartoons.
Seeing it again on the screen on 2019, it mades me feel like I need to pursue my dream for me, but also I want to create something that could be credible for the viewer, only then they can get in touch with the story and the characters.
About my education and experience, I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Set Design where I learned software as Maya, After Effects and Photoshop. I have spent those years using these tools and I learnt to use software as Substance Painter and Zbrush attending a Computer Graphic school in Italy. There I have taken part at my school’s thesis project where I used to work in the texture and rig department and after that, for six months I worked as Research and Development, where I increased my knowledge about texture and lighting.
As part of this team I also could improve my organizational skill, I used to coordinate my team and our work with a digital planner.
From September to November 2020 I worked as Junior Texture Artist at Animoka’s studio in Turin for an animated tv series.
From March to June 2021 I worked as texture artist and lighting artist (remote work), with some people all over the world (Sergio Laguarda, from Beroound).
Then, from August to October 2021 I've attended the Focus Academy Training that allowed me to learn new software such as Mari, Nuke and Houdini.
Eventually, now I'm working as 3DDMP artist at MPC Episodic since January 2022.
