Short Biography

My name is Francesco Furneri. I am a CG Artist with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, postgraduate education in 3D and with a Master of Science (MSc) in 3D Computer Animation. In the last years I have improved my technical/artistic skills, dealing with short CG movie/shots and working as 3D game programmer and Web developer.

At the moment I’m available for freelance work, mainly for general 3D and game-dev. My technical/artistic skills and competences allows me to work by covering several aspects of the 3D pipeling and working with meticulousness and professional quality.

Dachshund Project

This project takes inspiration from my personal dog. The whole short video is based on different steps, starting from modeling, lighting and texturing to have a final scene compositing with everything wrapped up. The work involved some anatomy research, followed by texture, lighting solution and quality enhancements. I remember that the 3D mesh can be purchased from my store and used for your personal projects and portfolios.

Piece of Cake Project

This video was created during my studies at the University of Kent (UK). In that occasion I was told to create a short movie in which the animation was the most important aspect that needed to demonstrate characteristics of professional quality. From technical side, I was involved in the entire project by scheduling my time and deadlines correctly in order to have it finished by the end of the Master Course.
