About Jp Felipe

Industry veteran with fourteen years experience in technical CG character and creature setup who has contributed as a key role to two of the top 10 highest grossing films in history(Jurassic World, Avengers: Infinity War). Consistently demonstrated a strong understanding of muscle anatomy and physically accurate kinematics of organic substances including but not limited to muscle and skin tissue, as well as cloth and hair. Have showcased solid reliability to meet high standards in a fast paced environment. With the amazing emerging technologies we\'re currently seeing in AI and Machine Learning, most recently adapted my skillsets to collaborate with the rest of the Ziva Dynamics team, under Unity Technologies. With Ziva RT, artists are now able to create high fidelity rigs normally reserved for blockbuster VFX movies and bring them into a real-time environment such as Unity and Unreal Engine. Truly ecstatic about further exploring the limits of this new frontier, and brining my knowledge and experience.
