Ezequiel Mastrasso’s Summary

Started as a product photographer at Vaja Cases, currently working as a hair and renderman TD (2 years) at paris.
My most important assets is my enthusiasm to learn, and my perseverance to be on top of the situations that might come accross.
My proffesional goal is to become a important part of the rendering team on a big production enviroment and being able to use my knowlege to get the most out of the tasks I've been assigned. And eventually be a part of the R&D deparment.
As a generalist artist I have been involved in the entire production line, from project management, supervising, and leading teams to lighting, fur/hair tools, pipeline, character design, animation, rigging, scripting, and also mocap equipment operation and mocap cleaning (optical and magnetic).

I also have Proffesional experience using numerous softwares and scripting languages as houdini, maya, motionbuilder, rhino, studio tools, xsi, max, renderman, mental ray, mantra, nuke, shake, fusion, mel scripting, python, tcl, lsystems, bash, powershell, and hscript.
