  • Oct 2010 - Present

  For many years, I've been responsible for mainly teaching ZBrush, Maya and Unreal. I’m still currently teaching ZBrush but replaced the other two by Marvelous Designer and Substance suite. As my career is moving towards academic research, I’m keeping a close eye on the industry practices. Because I’m enjoying it, I’m still modeling, sculpting and texturing. This helps me in my teaching to keep a good balance between practice and theory. For many years, I've been responsible for mainly teaching ZBrush, Maya and Unreal.

  Title: Alone in the Dark 4 After having finished my 3d formation (CFT Gobelins Art School), I worked for DarkWorks as a 3d environment artist (precalculated scenes). The first week, they told me not to stress. They said they knew I was a newbie in game development. One month later, DarkWorks decided to fire me because I wasn't fast enough. I've been very surprised to see they used what I made for us. No comment... but I will not forget!
