Oliver Sharpe CV
Rigging/ TD
Personal
I started working in 3D as a hobby 4 years ago before studying it at the University of South Wales, I found a love for the tricky and unique problem solving that the medium provides. My favourite part of rigging is combining the fixed set of tools to work out a real head scratcher, be-it in code, a viewport or node map. Co-Directing a film with a talented artist has helped me learn the core of teamwork in rigging and TD work. I was able to work closely with an artist in all stages of production to design characters that will both look good but move well and in interesting ways. I am now excited to move into the professional world to work on more interesting problems with more talented people.
