  Neil Jones is a
  I am a 3D asset modeller and digital sculptor with strengths in both organic sculpting and hard-surface modelling. I'm also proficient in creating textures in substance painter, and can produce look development using Arnold for Maya. I have a particular interest in characters/creatures with a strong background in this area, especially human/animal anatomy and producing likenesses and phonetic/facial blend-shapes, though I'm by no means limited to this. My career is founded on artistic ability and training, and began back in 1999, working as a traditional sculptor/model maker for Aardman Animations, in Bristol. I worked on many projects during my 3+ years there, including Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Angry Kid and Creature Comforts. Following this, I relocated to London to pursue a freelance career in Special Effects and it was here that I made hero props for films such as Hot Fuzz and Wes Anderson’s feature animation Isle of Dogs, for which I was a character sculptor. It was during this time that I began to transfer my skillset to the digital toolkit, learning Zbrush, Maya, Xgen, Arnold and Substance Painter, among others, and have now worked solely in VFX for the last 6 years. I've had many freelance roles during this time, but the most notable to date has been as a Build TD at DNEG, where I contributed to such projects as The Matrix: Resurrections, The Adam Project, The Meg 2 and The Lord of the Rings: Ring of Power.
