Hello and welcome to my site. My name is Angel Villasenor, I'm an accomplished Digital Artist and 3D Generalist with over 25 years of experience, including 8 years specializing in high-end VFX for major feature films as a Lighting Technical Director/Artist at studios such as DNEG and MPC in Montreal, Canada. I bring a versatile skill set across the 3D pipeline, with solid experience in Modeling, Texturing, and Animation, and a strong specialization in Lighting, Shading, Rendering, and Compositing.
I have deep expertise in physically-based lighting workflows, with a proven track record of crafting complex shots and delivering photorealistic results. A strong collaborator across departments (Layout, Assets, FX, Comp), I’m highly experienced in building lighting templates, troubleshooting pipeline issues, and developing techniques that align with both artistic and technical direction.
Able to work under minimal supervision, I thrive in fast-paced environments with tight deadlines, always bringing a positive attitude and a focus on efficiency and quality. I’m continuously learning new tools and workflows, and I bring a solid compositing foundation, particularly in lighting slap comps and complex layer integration. Proactive, adaptable, and quick to integrate into new teams and production pipelines.
