about
My name is Erwann Baudet, French artist just turn 30 (omg…. no !!!). Since 8 years, I’ve worked in the CG Industry as an FX Technical Director/FX Developer in many worldwide companies. After completing my postgraduate degree in Computer Science and Digital Image Technology at the University of Paris 8 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 knowledges as a freelancer for several companies in Paris, London, Los Angeles, Duesseldorf and now finally in Wellington at Weta Digital.CG Software
I am graduate from Art Paris School (ATI), specialized in Digital Imaging and I have been working for more than 8 years in the CG industry these skills. Here is an enumeration of my several CG skills used mainly in production:- Used Maya for 10 years and Houdini for 2 years.
- Particles, Dynamics (RB), Fluids Simulation (Maya and Flowline).
- Lighting and Fur tools: Renderman, Mental Ray and Mantra.
- Compositing: Nuke, Shake and After Effects.
Coding/Developing
Being graduated from French Computer Science School (2 years) I mainly learn languages that I didn’t know before to get in. This help me to develop applications and scripts.- Languages: C, C++, MEL script, Python, RSL (Renderman Shading Language), Shell language (bash/tcsh), Win32, OpenGL, Cascade, Ajax…
- Pipeline: I coded lot of scripts/plugins improving productivity for many companies and I’m stil always used to code in order to help my productivity.
Photography
I love to shot all the time in my life. Find the good angle is always a tough challenge that I love to take up. Feel free to have a look at my photos section just on the bottom
showreel
What is the best way to promote his own work ? well for some people it could be portfolios, website or even booklets. As I’m working in the Cinema industy the most common promoting support is known as showreel or sometimes named demoreel. It’s not an exhaustive preview of all the work I did, I mainly edited the best I could have done and as you may know, sometimes we could be a team of 10 just working on the same shots/sequences, so don’t throw me any flowers . You’ll find 2 several versions that I used to promote myself to get a job across the world, enjoy them like I enjoyed to edit them. And well… ok I’ll take the flowers :-)

downloads
On this page you will find most of my plugins/scripts that I’ve done during several productions since the last 8 years. I’ve decided to put them on free section so anyone could use them during their prods. Obviously, following my contract I will not be able to put all of them for free, you will just find those I coded in my spare time. Only the most recent versions of the plugins will be supported. Please note that some of the plugins/scripts available may not be compatible with your latest application. Btw, any comments would be really appreciated so feel free to write them down [download id="2" format="1"] [download id="1" format="1"]résumé
