“One Trick Pony”

They used to call me like this

in my startup as I was flexible

learning and doing anything

that could be useful to

accomplish our objectives

(i.e p programming, coaching,

marketing, design, CG, and

more).

I’m also a Mechanical

Engineer, just because I loved

Iron Man.

CG animated short made during COVID Quarantine

One d day I came up with a project featuring a mannequin dancing in a puddle. I thought it could become something much cooler than that. I talked about it with my roommates and in two days we assembled a team of 8 people to work on a futuristic animated short using the Scrum agile framework.

As VFX Houdini artist with programming skills I worked on all the DOP simulations (smoke, pyro, FLIP, vellum, RBD, POP) and built a simple tool in Houdini to generate pipes, gutters and wires out of Maya curves through Houdini Engine. Tools
