With 25 years in CGI production (gosh im getting old!) for animation, VFX and games, I’ve seen firsthand how the right pipeline can transform a team’s output, not just in speed, but in morale.
Here I share production-tested tools, patterns, and hard-won lessons that, I hope, will help artists, technical directors, technical artists, and developers work faster and with fewer roadblocks.
My goal is to give you practical solutions you can apply today, plus insights that will make your next pipeline project smoother, more scalable, and a little more joyful for everyone involved.
So, have a peek, drop a comment, lets connect. Sharing knowledge is among the best gifts we can offer to each other. Costs almost nothing and can really impact peoples lives.
Cheers 🍻!
