About Damien

Hello, my name is Damien, a 3D artist specializing in FX simulations with Houdini.
I support studios and clients in creating realistic and impactful visual effects, from concept to final rendering.

I master the main FX: cloth, particles, grains, RBD, pyro, and fluids, with particular attention to the quality of simulations and their visual integration.
I also have solid skills in lighting and compositing, mainly with Redshift, Nuke, and After Effects.

In addition to my FX expertise, I have a good command of modeling, UV unwrapping, and rigging, which allows me to work autonomously on different production stages.

Freelancing for a year, I have collaborated with several studios on projects with varied technical and artistic constraints, adapting to existing pipelines and production deadlines.

Graduated with a Bachelor's degree in 3D animation, I also completed a 5-month internship as a Houdini Artist at Magnane (Lyon), an experience that consolidated my professional approach and production methods.

Available to discuss your projects, do not hesitate to contact me.
Looking forward to collaborating with you,
Damien
