Resume Thomas Kaufmann
Objective
A highly motivated generalist with strong compositing as well as modeling and texturing skills. I hold deadlines and have a very keen eye for quality assurance. For me, a technically clean workflow in 3D and 2D is the base for any efficient and well done CG shot. To achieve this, it is important to always be up to date with new technologies and to develop my own skills further with every project.
Whatever the client wants can be done.
