Biography

Graduated from a Conceptor 3D/VFX Bachelor in 2018, I did a 4 months internship at Big Company where I learned more about every stages of a 3D pipeline. In 2019, I joined Zeilt Productions for two years, firstly as a Lighting artist on the animated show « Nächst Statioun" on which I sharpened my experience and understanding of light with over a thousands shots I’ve taken care of. I also did a lot of Set/Props Modeling and Surfacing on this same show. After that I worked on the animated show "Deep In the Bowl" with a more general aspect and next as a Modeler/Surfacing Artist on a still confidential animated show and other medias like video games, motion capture or VR integration. After this experience specialized in Lighting/Modeling/Surfacing, I was hired by Teamto during almost a year as Set/Props Modeler where I did many backgrounds and objects very stylised on a still confidential animated show. This experience reinforced my capacity to respect a design and create a topology conform to the needs of the production. I’m currently Set/Props Modeler at Superprod on the animated show « Batwheels" whose I unfortunately also can’t reveal any images. My role here start with White Boxing to final modeling. The particularity of my job on "Batwheels" is that some backgrounds will not be smoothed at the end. I need to keep the meshes with a low poly count while working on a shape which will react nicely to the lighting. My in-depth knowledge of other departments as Lighting and Texturing/Shading allow me to model being conscious of the next steps of the process.
