CGI & VFX Production

The craft I built my reputation on, long before AI entered the pipeline. Across more than 23 years, I've handled the full CGI and VFX pipeline end to end — 3D and product animation, medical and scientific animation, lighting and look development, dynamic effects and simulation, and final compositing — working fluently across Maya, Houdini, Unreal Engine, Nuke, and After Effects. When a project demands the highest level of polish, realism, and control, this is the hands-on, frame-by-frame work behind it.

3D Animation & CGI —

Photoreal and stylized animation from concept to final frame: avatars, characters, creatures, environments, and products for broadcast, film, and commercial work.

Visual Effects (VFX) —

Dynamic simulation and effects — fire, water, smoke, explosions, destruction, and particle systems — built in Houdini and Unreal Engine's Niagara, and finished in After Effects to broadcast standard.

Lighting, Look Development & Rendering —

Cinematic lighting, shading, and rendering across real-time and offline pipelines (Unreal Engine 5, Unity HDRP, Redshift, V-Ray) to achieve photoreal or stylized looks.

Compositing & Finishing —

Multi-pass compositing, green-screen keying, motion tracking, rotoscoping, editing, and final color grading in Nuke, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve, integrating CGI seamlessly with live action.

Product & Commercial Animation —

Photoreal product hero films, commercials, and e-commerce visuals — turning physical products into cinematic 3D renders and motion.

Medical & Scientific Visualization —

Accurate, high-detail 3D for medical and scientific subjects: anatomy, molecular, and cellular animation.

Broadcast Titles & Motion Graphics —

Show title sequences, broadcast graphics, and motion design for television and streaming platforms.

Architectural Visualization

Photoreal 3D visualization for architecture and interiors, drawing on my formal background in architecture and interior design — helping architects, developers, and real estate teams experience spaces before they’re built.

Architectural Rendering & Walkthroughs —

Photoreal still renders and animated walkthroughs of exteriors, interiors, and developments, with accurate lighting, materials, and atmosphere.

Architectural VR Experiences —

Immersive 1:1-scale VR walkthroughs of unbuilt spaces, so architects, interior designers, and real estate clients can explore light, materials, and proportions before construction begins.

AI Production & Generative Content — Hybrid Pipeline

My edge isn't AI on its own — it's the hybrid pipeline I run between traditional CGI/VFX and generative AI, built on 23 years in the production craft. I use AI for rapid ideation, base assets, and iteration, then bring that work into Maya, Houdini, and Unreal Engine for art direction and control, and finish in Nuke, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve. Each tool does what it does best, so AI speed never comes at the cost of polish.

Hybrid CGI + AI Workflows —

Blending generative AI with a full CGI/VFX pipeline: AI-assisted concepting and asset generation, refined and art-directed in Maya, Houdini, and Unreal, then composited and graded to broadcast standard.

AI Video & Visual Production —

AI-powered video generation, motion graphics, and visual effects for promotional content, explainer videos, AI UGC videos for social, and concept visualization, finished in After Effects and DaVinci Resolve.

AI-Generated 3D Assets —

AI-generated 3D models, textures, and environments, cleaned up and integrated into XR and CGI pipelines.

AI Image Generation & Concept Art —

Rapid visual exploration using generative AI: brand visuals, marketing assets, storyboards, and mood boards.

AI-Enhanced Animation —

AI-accelerated character animation, facial motion, lip sync, and procedural animation for XR and video.

AI Content Pipelines —

Custom generative AI workflows for ongoing content at scale: automated asset generation, batch processing, and AI-assisted creative tools.

Virtual Reality (VR) Development

Custom VR apps for Meta Quest 3, Quest Pro, and Magic Leap. This covers everything from concept to deployment on app stores or enterprise distribution.

VR Training & Simulation —

Immersive training environments for industries like healthcare, manufacturing, defense, and corporate onboarding, reducing costs and improving knowledge retention compared to traditional methods.

Virtual Showrooms & Tours —

3D walkthrough experiences for real estate, architecture, automotive, hospitality, and retail. Showcase spaces or products before they physically exist.

VR Events & Social Experiences —

Virtual conferences, product launches, and collaborative spaces. Think branded metaverse environments where people can gather remotely.

VR Prototyping & Visualization —

Rapid prototyping of products or spaces in VR before committing to physical production. Useful for architects, product designers, and engineers.

AUGMENTED & EXTENDED REALITY DEVELOPMENT

Augmented and mixed reality that overlay digital content onto the world your customers already see — through smartphones, tablets, and smart glasses, no headset required — reaching the billions of AR-capable devices already in people's pockets. When a project spans modes, I blend AR and MR to fit the experience to your challenge.

Mixed Reality (MR) Development —

Digital and physical objects that coexist and interact in real time — holographic interfaces, spatial computing, and collaborative MR for Meta Quest 3, Quest Pro, and Magic Leap.

AR Mobile Applications —

iOS and Android apps built with ARKit and ARCore — product visualization, interactive packaging, AR navigation — taken end to end through the App Store (Xcode build, signing, provisioning, submission) and Google Play.

WebAR Experiences —

Browser-based AR with no app download; users just scan a QR code. Zero-friction reach for campaigns, retail, and events.

AR for Retail & E-Commerce —

Virtual try-on for fashion, cosmetics, and eyewear, plus 3D previews that let customers explore items before buying — and lift conversion.

AR Wayfinding & Navigation —

Indoor navigation for malls, airports, hospitals, and campuses, with directional cues overlaid on the real environment through a phone camera.

AR Print & Packaging —

Business cards, brochures, and packaging that trigger 3D animations, video, or interactive content when scanned.

XR Strategy & Consulting —

Identify where immersive tech fits your operations, marketing, or products: discovery sessions, feasibility studies, technology recommendations.
