Michael Masuda
Modeler / Texture Artist in VFX
Toronto, Canada

Summary

I am a modeler and texture artist in the VFX industry with 10 years of experience. I’ve worked at companies including Rodeo FX, Jellyfish Pictures, Pixomondo, SPIN VFX, Soho VFX, and Mavericks VFX working on feature films and television series.

As a senior hard surface modeler, I work on a wide range of tasks including vehicles, architecture, environment, and props. I also enjoy working on some organic work using zbrush. As an intermediate level organic artist, I can work on wide range of assets including crowd characters, costumes, and organic props/environments.

Actively looking for a new role in Toronto. Open to work in Montreal and Vancouver for the right opportunity.
