Animation 3D/VFX / pipeline tools / shading

Hi, I am Charles Lévêque, a 25-year-old filmmaker and third-year 3D Animation/VFX student at ISART Digital, looking for an alternance or alternating internship in Paris for my Master's next year, with a rhythm of 3 company days per week from July.

I like working across different areas of cinema, from screenwriting, character design, staging and editing to 3D image work, using Maya, Houdini and Blender for animation, rigging, modeling, retopology, texturing and lighting.

I also design shading, pipeline and production tools with a serious, attentive, persistent and rigorous approach.

Current Projects / Visual Tests

Ongoing tools, studies and case decks.

In-progress tools are labelled; older school, film and LEGO entries are kept as documented case pages.

Pipeline / R&D

Tools, systems, tests.

A hybrid practice: understanding the image, then building the tools that make production smoother.
