I create, experiment
and look for solutions.
VFX student at HEAJ. Environments, visual effects, applications and tools: the same urge to understand how things are made.

Method
How I work
01
Look at the reference
Before producing, understand what exists: a photo, a brief, a dinner service. The reference ↔ render comparison is the most honest proof I know.
→ Éclairage & rendu photoréaliste02
Prototype fast
Blocking, sketches, first assembly. A whole city starts with a few blocks you rearrange.
→ Passage entre les mondes03
Industrialise what repeats
Texturing spreadsheets, automatic render queue, print queue with atomic lease: when a task comes back, I build the tool.
→ Passage entre les mondes04
Ship, measure, fix
A film delivered with its breakdown; an application measured in production, with its bugs told and fixed.
→ Servio
