About Etienne

I'm a VFX technical artist with 8 years of experience creating stunning visuals for dozens of major Hollywood feature films and high end TV series.

I've worked at Framestore bringing directors' visions to life through advanced shading, lighting, and lookdev work.

About the lesson

-- What I Can Teach You --
Lookdev & Shading (My Specialty):

- Physically-based rendering (PBR) principles and real-world material behavior
- Creating realistic materials: metals, fabrics, organic surfaces, volumetrics
- Shader network architecture and calibration techniques
- Developing shader templates and recipes for production
- Understanding what makes good textures work well in shaders
- Lighting strategies for material presentation

-- My teaching style --

I believe in learning by doing. We'll work on practical projects that build your portfolio while teaching fundamental skills. I'll show you my professional workflow, explain my decision-making process, and help you develop your own systematic approach to problem-solving.

Expect homework between sessions (optional but recommended!), clear explanations with visual examples, and honest feedback that helps you improve quickly.

-- Why learn with me? --

I don't just teach buttons and menus—I teach you to think like a professional artist. My approach focuses on understanding the "why" behind every technique, so you develop problem-solving skills that serve you throughout your projects and career.

-- Our first session is about understanding You --

- What are your goals? (Career change? Portfolio? Specific project? Pure interest?)
- What's your current skill level?
- Do you have an existing project, or should we start something new together?

Together, we'll create a learning plan tailored to your needs. You'll leave our first session with a clear roadmap and actionable next steps.

-- Who I Work Best With --

- Complete Beginners: You're curious about VFX but don't know where to start. Perfect! I'll guide you through the fundamentals with patience and clarity.

- Students & Recent Grads: You've learned the basics but want industry-ready skills and portfolio pieces that get you hired. I'll share the production techniques and problem-solving approaches that studios value.

- Hobbyists & Enthusiasts: You love 3D art and want to create amazing work, even if it's not your career. Let's make something awesome together!
