" I've known François for many years now and have been working with him on several projects at both Appeal and Fresh3D. On these projects, François was commisionned to work on real-time character setup and animation. As an animator, François has a great sense of pose and timing. But his broad range of technical skills goes beyond mere animation and it was a relief for our small team that he could work on any aspect of the character setup pipeline without requiring much help from our side. He his a forward-thinking guy and will rather build up custom MEL tools rather than spending money on time-consuming repetitive tasks. I highly recommend François for any character animation pipeline related work. " " François is somebody with whom I have always liked collaborating for several years on diverse platforms (consoles, PC, coinup). Always enthusiastic, self-willed and motivated, he is very professional and always concerned by the respect of production deadlines. He is one of the few 3D artists I know are capable of MEL script programming to improve their production process. He is also an excellent 3D animator with a real sense of timing. His easy contact and varied skills allow him to adapt to any kind of project. " Franck Sauer - Creative & Technical Art Director - Fresh3D - France Yann Robert - CEO - Fresh3D - France
" I had the opportunity to hire François as a graphics designer a long time ago for our Art&Magic company which made arcade video games. Together we developed crazy things (motion captures in particular). I have excellent memories of him for his undeniable technical and artistic qualities as well as for his sense of organization. Currently we're getting to the end of a one-month co-operation with Actorlabs for an augmented reality project for television. Actorlabs have quickly adapted to our requirements and have outstandingly become integrated into our technical team, under François' supervision. Actorlabs have provided us with an excellent work while respecting the lead times which were very tight to ensure our presence at the NAB fair in Las Vegas. I've unmistakably made the right choice to call him back after 10 years! " Olivier ROBA - Executive director - Deltacast s.a - Belgium
" Always in search of new challenges, François is a complete 3D Artist. Our several experiences with François in various domains as cartoon movies, video games and real time make him an enlightened co-worker that is concerned about aesthetics. His both technical and artistic vision allows him to synthesize the work and to optimize every stage of the production with creativity... His touch? Trigger emulation! " Jean-Michel BALLAUX - CG Director - Blue Spirit - Belgium
" François has a great sensibility combined with highly-developed technical skills. The results of this are sensitive animations that are not limited by the technicals aspects of a production process while respecting production leads. He is somebody you can trust. Next to his work of animation we call him in to solve complex rigging problems. Furthermore, François is very warm-hearted, dynamic and has a real sense of humor that largely facilitates teamwork. I also remember that he was always in a good mood to help and train newcomers who sometimes had difficulties facing their new tasks." Luc Warnant - Art Director - Neuroplanet s.a - Belgium |
