Technical Direction

“I wish I could just push a button and automate that…”
In-house Technical Directors and programmers are the secret sauce behind the ability of large studios to create such impressive and large animations. They build custom tools, plugins, and scripts that help automate and connect things, taking their animations to the next level.
But what about small studios and freelancers who can't afford to hire their own in-house technical gurus? That's where I come in! In addition to decades of experience in 3D and motion graphics, I have a strong background in programming. I can build custom tools, plugins, and scripts for popular software like Houdini, Cinema 4D, and almost all Adobe products.
So, whether you're a small studio or a freelancer, don't let limited resources hold you back from creating mind-blowing 3D animations. Let me help you streamline your workflow and take your animations to the next level with custom tools, plugins, and scripts. Get in touch today to learn more about how I can help bring your vision to life!

Supertext
Text in Houdini is pretty basic and not very motion graphics friendly. Supertext is a Houdini HDA that bundles all the standard motion graphics type needs, like extrusions and bevels as well as cleans up the font geometry. It can even take a vector file or curves as an input instead of a font or caN BE FED point attributes to generate the text.
Application - Houdini
coding - VEX

Hierarchy Renaming plugin
Originally developed for NINESWISS studios as a fast way of cleaning up Mixamo rigs for Cinema 4D, this is a plugin that allows you to rename all the selected objects in your scene in one of three ways - Using a definition text file, Straight text replace of name segments or Adding a prefix or suffix.
Application - cinema 4d
coding - python
