Senior🎓
Top SchoolNiels Vaes is a technical animator with nine years' experience crafting character rigs, skinning, cloth and dynamics for AAA titles, currently consulting at Embark Studios in Stockholm. He has shipped work on Battlefield V, Battlefield 2042 and ARC Raiders/THE FINALS, and pairs artist-friendly rigging with Python tool development to streamline Maya-to-engine pipelines.
