Designing Node Based Procedural Asset Management systems for Film and Episodics

A robust AMS pipeline is essential for managing the creation, versioning, and distribution of assets—like models, textures, simulations, and more—across multiple departments and projects. Here’s how my AMS services can benefit your production:

​

• Custom AMS Solutions: I design tailored AMS pipelines that integrate seamlessly with your existing production workflows. Whether you’re managing assets for large-scale VFX projects or boutique productions, my solutions ensure consistency, scalability, and automation at every step.

• Node-Based Workflow Automation: By leveraging procedural, node-based workflows, I help studios visualize and automate complex asset processes. This approach allows for non-destructive edits, ensuring that updates to assets automatically propagate throughout the pipeline, reducing manual work and the potential for errors.

• Enhanced Collaboration and Version Control: I build AMS solutions that foster cross-department collaboration by providing centralized access to the latest versions of assets. This ensures that FX, animation, lighting, and other departments always work with the right assets, streamlining production schedules and minimizing delays.

• Integration with Industry Tools: My services include integrating AMS with industry-standard tools like Houdini, Maya, ZBrush, and Shotgun. This creates a cohesive environment where asset data, task statuses, and project timelines are fully synchronized, providing real-time visibility into your project’s progress.

With over 15 years of expertise in the world of Visual Effects and Computer Graphics, I specialize in delivering high-caliber solutions for feature films, commercials, and episodic content.

 

As the Head of CG at MPC Toronto and a VES Member, my passion lies in creating realistic simulations of natural phenomena such as water, fire, smoke, and debris. I leverage industry-leading tools like Houdini, Maya, Renderman etc to bring these elements to life, ensuring they blend seamlessly into any scene.

​

I provide consultation services that help studios optimize their VFX workflows, streamline CG production, and elevate their project’s visual storytelling. My experience spans roles from FX TD to CG Supervisor, allowing me to offer a unique perspective on pipeline design, tool development, and cross-department collaboration.

 

Notably, my work on blockbuster films like Godzilla vs. Kong earned recognition with an HPA Award nomination for Outstanding Visual Effects.

​

Whether it's advising on asset management systems, building custom FX solutions, or mentoring teams to maximize their creative potential, my goal is to push the boundaries of what’s possible in visual effects. Let’s work together to bring your vision to the screen with unparalleled realism and artistry.

Create expansive, dynamic environments with Automated Houdini Scene Creation using PDG (Procedural Dependency Graph). I specialize in building large-scale, procedurally generated worlds that save time, streamline production, and deliver stunning results. Using Houdini's powerful procedural capabilities, I can automate the creation of complex terrains, assets, and environments, allowing your team to focus on creativity while the system handles the heavy lifting.

Key Features:

• Automated Scene Generation: Simplify and speed up the creation of virtual worlds with data-driven, procedural setups. My expertise in PDG graphs ensures that every aspect of your environment is generated efficiently and consistently, reducing manual work and iteration time.

• Seamless Integration with Unreal Engine: I bridge the gap between Houdini’s procedural power and Unreal Engine’s real-time capabilities, enabling you to bring interactive simulations and virtual production environments to life. This integration is ideal for game development, virtual sets, and cinematic scenes.

• Scalability for Virtual Production: Create environments that can grow and adapt with your project’s needs. From film production to VR/AR experiences, my setups are designed to handle large-scale virtual worlds while maintaining high performance and visual fidelity.
