Amaan Akram

Thank you for visiting my website. With 8 years of professional CG experience in various roles within production pipelines, I have had the chance to develop a well-rounded artistic skillset . With a degree in Computer Science, I also have a fair amount of knowledge about some of the technical and mathematical fundamentals of computer generated imagery. I am proficient in most CG roles; however, I enjoy shading, lighting and rendering the most in both artistic and technical (TD) capacities.
