Computer Graphics & VFX
I'm interested in the frontier between technical and artistic computer graphics and how it shapes VFX, animation and games. I like working on open-source tools like Blender. As a hobby, I enjoy sharing what I learn about computer graphics through posts on my website and videos on my YouTube channel.
