  • I had the pleasure of working with Alvaro on Marvel's Ant-Man, for which he created beautiful complex full CG environments in Houdini that supported interaction with the characters. Alvaro built an extensive environmental tool-set that was able to handle the artistic requirements as well the complex technical requirements such as the massive amounts of data for a large amount of shots. He takes on challenging tasks and communicates issues as well as smart solutions before they become bigger concerns. Combine this with a strong artistic vision and a sharing mentality, and it makes him a joy to work with and a fundamental part of a team.
