SKILLS
ABOUT NATHANIEL WINCKLER
I am an Expert Technical Animation Designer (or TDiA) based in Los Angeles with over seven years of experience bringing stories and games to life through dynamic and innovative animation. My journey into animation was ignited by my love for Pixar\'s The Incredibles, a film that continues to inspire my work. I specialize in 3Cs, C++, game engine development, and 3D animation, blending technical expertise with creative storytelling. Passionate about pushing the boundaries of animation, I thrive on collaborating with innovative teams to create immersive, captivating experiences. I often compare my role to that of an inventor. Every day, I get to invent new and better ways to author and use animation. My eye for quality animation and experience as an animator help me develop those new solutions in ways that are artist-friendly and pixel-perfect. Let\'s connect and explore the future of storytelling together!
