Summary
Sven Fraeys is a Pipeline TD Supervisor with 12 years of cross-disciplinary experience building toolchains and production pipelines for animation and visual effects at studios including Cinesite and Walt Disney Animation Studios. He specializes in Python and C++ tool and pipeline development, connecting artists and engineers to streamline shot production across Maya, Modo, Nuke, Arnold, Alembic and Shotgrid/FTrack workflows. Sven has progressed from hands-on pipeline TD roles to lead and supervisory positions, consistently delivering automated shot builders and integrated studio solutions for feature films. Based in Ghent, he combines a technical artist’s eye with systems thinking—recently expanding into applied AI through a micro-degree in AI@Home. Colleagues rely on him to reduce artist friction and scale repeatable processes; less obvious is his early background in network and rich media work, which gives him a broad systems perspective beyond VFX tooling.
