Summary
Jimmy Gunawan is a versatile freelance CG artist and tutor based in Sydney with 13 years of hands-on experience across Maya, Houdini, and Blender, specializing in particles, VFX, and technical animation. His background spans character rigging, final layout on feature work, visualization, and projection-mapped simulations for high-profile events like Vivid Festival at the Sydney Opera House. Traditionally trained in drawing and animation (Animation Mentor), he combines artistic fundamentals with technical fluency in Renderman and Mental Ray to solve complex production challenges. As a long-term educator and self-directed creator, he rapidly learns new tools and explores AR/VR and open-source workflows, bringing both studio discipline and experimental curiosity to freelance and teaching projects. An understated strength is his blend of storyboard-level visual thinking with low-level simulation know-how, enabling him to bridge creative intent and technical execution.
