KARTHIHEYAN

A stronger, more authoritative version that subtly weaves in advanced pipeline tools and large-scale asset experience.

As a Senior Texturing Artist, I specialize in texturing, look development, grooming, and lighting for complex, high-profile assets. My primary focus is applying my extensive background in advanced rendering and look development workflows—including deep integration with Katana, Mari, and RenderMan—to craft compelling visual narratives. I remain deeply committed to pushing technical boundaries and continuously evolving my artistic capabilities within the VFX industry.
