Hello, I'm Ahmed, a 3D Generalist with over a decade of experience in the animation and visual effects industry, specialising in crafting captivating narratives through immersive worlds and dynamic characters. My expertise encompasses a comprehensive skill set in various 3D software, primarily using Maya for modelling, rigging, and animation.
Since 2011, I have honed my craft across a spectrum of projects, including commercials, television series, and feature films such as "La Brea," "The Wilds," "Nine Perfect Strangers," "Blacksite," "The Boys," and "Jungle." My contributions have not only shaped visual storytelling but have also led to significant milestones, including the creation of the Commonwealth Games mascot, Borobi, and collaborations with prestigious brands like Audible, Adobe, Netflix, Disneyland Tokyo, Toyota, Kellogg's, Ladbrokes, Sunny Queen Eggs, Emerging Minds, Metagenics, and QUT.
I possess a Bachelor’s Degree in Animation, which underpins my technical prowess in 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation. My proficiency includes fast and precise hard surface and organic modeling in Maya, sculpting in Mudbox, and an adept understanding of UV unwrapping. I excel in creating intricate shader networks that incorporate both procedural textures and detailed hand-painted elements using tools like Mudbox and Photoshop.
I am skilled in various animation styles, adeptly translating concept art into 3D models with a keen eye for detail and precision. My capabilities extend to camera animation, dynamics (including nDynamics, cloth simulations, hair, and V-Ray Fur), and rigging for characters, props, and environments. I pride myself on developing custom, clean rigs and am familiar with rapid rig and mgear rigging tools.
As a fast learner, I quickly adapt to company production pipelines and conventions, thriving in fast-paced environments while consistently delivering high-quality results under tight deadlines with minimal supervision. I value collaboration and enjoy working closely with directors, colleagues, and clients to exceed expectations. My passion for exploration and continuous learning drives me to stay at the forefront of industry trends and techniques.
