SKILLS
Problem-Solving and Creativity
I’m passionate about what I do and love finding creative solutions to problems. I’m always looking for ways to improve and make things more efficient, whether it’s automating tasks or fixing issues in a new way. My goal is to help the team work smarter and achieve great results.
Artistic Foundation
With a solid background in art, I have a deep understanding of the artistic process and the challenges artists face. This allows me to effectively communicate with creative teams, and provide tailored solutions and tools that help them work more efficiently and achieve their vision.
Learning and Technical Growth
I’m highly motivated to deepen my understanding of the technical aspects of my career, including mathematics, physics, and coding. I enjoy challenging myself to learn new concepts and push my skills further, with a focus on developing advanced tools for simulations.
EXPERIENCES
Senior Technical Animator - Activision Blizzard
Developing technical animation systems and character pipelines, specializing in procedural and physics-based animation, vehicle physics simulation, ragdolls, and production workflow improvements.
Technical Artist - Electronic Arts (EA)
Working on the Formula 1 game. My role involves conducting research to enhance character quality, improving both body and facial rigs. I also develop scripts and tools to streamline workflows and support the team, while collaborating with other departments to ensure the highest quality in game development.
Technical Artist - KeelWorks
During this period, I worked as a Technical Artist for the video game CYGNI. As the sole rigger on the team, I created all the rigs used in the game. Additionally, I developed all the tools and scripts, performed simulations for elements such as dust, debris, sand, water, destructions, and explosions, and designed custom scripts to optimize animations. I also built tools for crowd simulation, significantly enhancing the efficiency and quality of the game's development process.
3D Generalist - Freelancing
I dedicated this time to learning skills such as modeling, rendering, and animation. I worked on a variety of projects, including TV advertisements, and conducted workshops and webinars for some of the most prestigious universities in Iran. This was an important step in laying the foundation for my current skills.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Niloufar
I was one of the first to try Mr. Shirzad Bahrami’s training package, and it was a game-changer. The lessons are concise and packed with key insights, perfect for someone with limited time. The best part is the exceptional support — Mr. Bahrami personally addresses any questions, ensuring you get the best guidance quickly. Thanks to this, I was able to learn fast and enter the job market confidently.

At the beginning of my architectural visualization journey, I came across a tutorial created by Shirzad Bahrami. It was called Dark Horse House, and it was incredibly detailed with architectural elements. I believe he created a fantastic Corona Renderer tutorial about six years ago, and I took part in the course. Later, I was nominated as the top participant in the Dark Horse House competition. I learned a lot from those sessions, which is why I really admire him and his work.
