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.
Mentoring runs alongside my studio work and my classes, so I'm honest about fit: if someone else can help you better, I'll tell you on the first call.
