BRANDON YOUNG

Brandon started his VFX career in 2003. He originally went to school for concept design and illustration, and while attending art school he got offered a freelance gig. The University of Washington was looking to do some scientific visualization of shore erosion. Having no clue how to do fluid simulations Brandon google up fluid simulation software and that led him to RealFlow. He taught hismelf how to use it and fell in love with it. From there he dabbled in other pieces of software and other types of VFX.

He made a short demo reel full of tests and sent it around to games studios in the area and got hired at Surreal studio (now Midway Games) from there he kept growing as an artist and has gotten to work at many of the best studios in the industry Blur, Scanline, and Luma Pictures to name a few. Brandon is currently in Atlanta Georgia supervising various projects.

JAN JAAP VAN ASSEN

Jan Jaap van Assen is a research scientist who studies the perception of materials. For his PhD in Germany he studied the perception of liquids and how our visual system is able to estimate properties such as viscosity or sliminess. He started to use RealFlow to generate controlled liquid stimuli mostly varying in viscosity. Jan spent three months at the Next Limit office in Madrid as part of his research network and stays in touch with the RealFlow team regarding future developments. He uses the software in a scientific context where consistency, precision and natural behavior are more important than aesthetics. Results got published in high impact journals of his field, such as Current Biology and Journal of Vision (see www.janjaap.info for PDFs).

JOSH CLOS

Josh is from Minneapolis, MN and he started his Visual Effects career there in 2010. Working for a great company called MAKE during 6 years, he I learned from truly inspiring artists and began specializing in FX, dynamic simulations, procedural systems, and scripting. From the start, he really enjoyed both liquid simulation and Python scripting and he often uses them together. Josh spent lots of time studying water behavior and small-scale simulations like drops, splashes, and puddles and he constantly does side projects in his free time to test and learn more. He now lives and works in New York City as a freelance FX Artist and 3D Generalist and considers himself lucky to do what he loves for a career.

MARK STASIUK

Mark Stasiuk and his team at Fusion CI Studios is committed to excelling at complex dynamic fx challenges. Realistic physical simulation is the core of their work – complex particle & fluid fx involving liquids, smoke, fire, explosions and rigid/soft body dynamics at uncompromising, photo-real, feature-film quality.

Fusion CI Studios typically work as a plug ‘n play fx team for other vfx houses when these need to expand their fx capacity for challenging custom fx work. Their clients find this working model invaluable since dynamic fx are still very complex to do well, especially within today’s compressed schedules & budgets. The years of expertise ensure Fusion CI Studios deliver outstanding dynamic effects both time & cost-effectively.

MAREK GLINKA

My adventure with special effects began in 2011 thanks to the fascination of the anime Dragon Ball Z. First I was learning After Effects and Cinema 4D. In 06.2017 I graduated from post-production, VFX and Animation 3D specialization at the AMA Film Academy.
I’m working in NoLabel in Cracov since 2016. RealFlow software was shown to me by my current boss. I work mainly in RealFlow, also in combination with 3Ds Max, Nuke and Phoenix FD.


There is a lot of power in particles 🙂

QUENTIN ROSSETTO

Quentin got his Master’s degree in Art and Technologies for Images (ATI – Paris 8 – France) in 2014, working on a research paper on material transmutation.

RealFlow proved to be the best software for the task, and this new-found passion for wrangling particles led to a silly test being posted online, which somehow led to a summer internship at Next Limit as a RealFlow 2014 on-site beta tester (So be careful when posting your simulation online). From there on he worked as a VFX artist on feature films, advertising, and animation in various countries. He currently lives and works in Paris, occasionally teaching VFX at his former school.
