about

My name is Erwann Baudet, I’m a French artist, age 29 and I’ve worked in the CG Industry since 8 years as a FX Technical Director/FX Developer in many worldwide companies.

After completing my postgraduate degree in Computer Science and Digital Image Technology (ATI) in 2003, I worked as CG Vfx developer at Sparx* where I set up a fur pipeline developing an in-house Renderman RIBGEN/DSO and some Maya plugins. After many months in the R&D department, I switched to the more graphic world as CG Technical Director on some commercials using Maya, Renderman, my own Fur tool mentioned and Realflow. After few years is that company, I decided to use my knowledge as a freelancer for several companies in Paris, London, Los Angeles and Duesseldorf.

I currently work as FX Technical Director at Animal Logic (Sydney), working on their next full CG Animation Movie.
