About
Photographer turned technical artist.
Hey, I'm Mario, originally from Italy. I began my career as a photographer before moving into the VFX industry about three years ago.
Since then I've worked on projects such as Secret Level for Prime Video, Marathon directed by Alberto Mielgo, Sky: Children of the Light and The Quinta's Ghost.
Today I'm a Senior Technical Artist at Triarts, where Unreal Engine and the PCG framework are my daily tools. I also teach Houdini and Unreal Engine at Voxel School in Madrid, share Houdini tutorials on NodeFlow, and enjoy giving talks at conferences.
