Hey! I am Christian Rodriguez and I am a 3D artist specializing in Character FX & Grooming. My skills involve cloth simulation, hair simulation, cloth tailoring, grooming and simulation set-up.
I graduated from Savannah College of Art & Design with a BFA in Visual Effects. While at SCAD I took classes in both animation and visual effects which allowed me to learn different aspects of the pipelines for 3D animation and for live action. I love learning new skills and expanding my knowledge of the skills I currently have! I also love collaborative environments and working with others to problem solve issues with creative solutions!
