Hello! My name is Ian Wilmoth, I am a 3d/VFX Generalist with 15+ years freelancing in the Advertising, Entertainment, and Experiential industries at top post houses and animation studios in NYC, LA, and remotely. My diverse skill set and experience with both photoreal and stylized work makes me valuable across multiple industries. I often work as a 3d lead artist, developing the workflow and process for individual shots or entire shows. I really shine when working in adjacent roles, minimizing handoffs between artists (and thus revisions) as production goes forward. I am also happy working in discrete roles including Modeler, Look Dev, Lighter, Character Animation, Dynamics, CFX, VFX, Post, Rigger, Compositor, etc, I do previs and postvis. I can also color grade. I am an on-set VFX supervisor, and I’m learning AI. I use Cinema 4D, Maya, Zbrush, Nuke, After Effects, PFtrack, Redshift, Vray & more. I do NOT Code or Script. I do NOT make 2d Animation, or 2d Motion Graphics.
I work on major projects like VFX features, TV specials and streaming series, music videos with 100 mil+ views, highly attendanded experiential installations, high-end advertising, and anything else that calls for high quality 3d CGI or VFX work. Beyond the popularity and commercial success of projects I have contributed to, the professional community has truly been the most rewarding part of my career- I have met some of my favorite people in the world through the field of 3-D animation and VFX, and I am grateful to have worked with and learned from so many talented colleagues. Thanks for checking out my work! What can I do for you?
