About Yoann

Need cinematic visual effects or ultra-realistic 3D simulation without the cost of a large studio?
As a VFX Artist and 3D Generalist with over 3 years of experience, I've brought my expertise to top-tier international productions (including Star Trek) for brands, advertising agencies, and production studios.

My goal? To bring your most complex ideas to life with the rigor of cinema standards, but with the flexibility and responsiveness of a single point of contact.

🎯 What I deliver for your projects (Commercials, Music Videos, Cinematics, VFX):
Complex VFX & Simulations (Houdini): Mass destruction, smoke, fire, fluids (pyro simulation), magical or advanced physics effects.

3D Generalist from A to Z: Asset and environment modeling (stylized or photorealistic), advanced texturing (LookDev), and lighting.

Compositing & Final Rendering: Integrating your 3D elements into live-action footage, color grading, and delivering export-ready files.

💻 My Tech Pipeline (Studio Integration Guarantee):
FX / Simulation: Houdini (Pyro & Fluids Specialist)

3D & Texturing: Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter

Compositing & Editing: Nuke, DaVinci Resolve
