About Leonardo
I’m a Senior Technical Director and VFX artist with more than 20 years of experience in the visual effects and animation industry.
Over the years I’ve worked in multiple countries including Italy, France, Belgium, and the UK, collaborating with studios and companies across animation, VFX, procedural workflows, and pipeline development.
My background includes Maya, Houdini, Blender, workflow automation, simulations, procedural systems, and production pipelines.
Unlike many online courses that focus only on buttons and tools, my goal is to help students truly understand how professional 3D workflows work in real production environments.
Whether you are:
a complete beginner
an artist changing career
a student building a portfolio
or a professional wanting to improve technical skills
I can help you build a strong understanding of modern 3D workflows step by step.

My teaching approach focuses on simplifying complexity.
3D software can initially feel overwhelming, especially tools like Houdini or Maya. Instead of throwing students into technical details immediately, I break every topic into smaller, understandable building blocks.
Lessons are tailored to the student’s level and goals.
Topics can include:
Modeling
Procedural workflows
Simulations
Rendering
Lighting
Animation
Geometry Nodes
Pipeline workflows
Python for artists
Technical art
Portfolio development
I teach using a practical production-oriented approach, meaning students learn not only how tools work, but also how professionals think and solve problems in real projects.
Lessons are available for:
Beginners
Intermediate artists
Advanced users wanting technical mentoring
Online lessons only.
