ASK & DISCUSS INDEX

5 months, 1 week ago - Adrianna Polcyn

Hi everyone!

I launched my self-employed business "adize" last year and now I'm looking to expand and work with new clients locally and globally! My journey into digital art started with filmmaking and creating visual stories with friends as a kid, experimenting with whatever tools I could find. Saving my pocket money, I even managed to buy a green screen for my room - with my mum and friends helping to shoot fun VFX experiments I started learning compositing, effects, and digital tricks.

On a number of occasions, I have collaborated with filmmakers from Shooting People and I hope to work more with some of you!

What do I do now?
- Volumetric capture – I specialise in transforming real people into digital assets, creating performances for film, installations, virtual production, games, VR, and AR. Additionally, I offer professional consultation services on volcap processing and post-production.

- 3D, VFX, characters – My general 3D expertise includes 3D modelling, texturing, lighting, and rendering, and effects such as simulations for clouds, smoke and fire. I bring characters to life using Houdini (APEX), UE, and mocap, and I'm exploring digital fashion with Marvelous Designer. I also know real-time workflows with UE and Touch Designer.

- Architectural visualisation – I work with tools like 3ds Max and Corona render engine. I can also integrate scanned assets (objects, environments) into these scenes to achieve a high level of realism and detail, bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds.

- Tools dev – I can build tools for task automation, integrate Python scripts with Houdini HDAs, and design large-scale production pipelines to streamline workflows. I can work with big datasets and ensure smooth processing with custom pipeline automation.

- Compositing – With experience in Nuke, After Effects, and Houdini Copernicus, I can perform compositing tasks including advanced 2D and 3D tracking, cleanup and keying for digital and analogue footage. I also know techniques for real-time compositing in UE and TD.

- RnD – I constantly explore new tools that can help with VFX pipelines, including Gaussian Splatting, depth and pose estimation, machine-learning deformers, Nuke AI tools, automated object tracking and more.

- Filmmaking – With an MA in Film, I am experienced in directing, screenwriting, and producing small film projects. My short film "Lungs" will be released next month. I also have hands-on experience on film, volcap and VFX film sets, as well as virtual production.

- Training & team management – I offer training in 3D, VFX, and filmmaking, focusing on skill development and collaboration. I have experience in team management, coordinating teams of artists to deliver projects effectively.
