Share Knowledge - Keep Learning with María Carriedo | TVAP EP43
Description
In this episode, we chat to María Carriedo, CG Lead at Freefolk and former colleague of Daniel's at The Mill.
Born in Mexico, María studied VFX at the prestigious Gnomon School in LA before working at Psyops on commercials. Since then she moved to London to work at The Mill before her current role. In this interview we learn about María's journey into VFX and her approach to continuous learning and development.
As a lead María is involved in the hiring process so her showreel advice will be invaluable to any 3D Artists seeking new projects. While trained in Maya, María mostly works with Houdini so we discuss the merits of the 2 giants in the 3D industry as well as touching on Zbrush, Unreal and the new Solaris/Karma renderer in Houdini.
There's a lot packed into this interview so you will want to check it out!
