Lidia Martinez Prado

I'm a computer engineer with a mix of artistic skills.
I have a M.S on Computer Graphics. I'm specialized in efficiency, maths and inbetween the technical and art parts. I've worked as a Pipeline Developer, Technical Artist (Games), Technical Director (VFX), and tools developer.

I´m an multidisciplinar person with lots of passion for storytelling, film aesthetics and all the nerdy graphics, maths and physics stuff. I like helping artists with tools and pipeline enhancements and I love sharing what I learn though classes and my blog and videos.
