I’m Paul Simonnet, a junior 3D animator and generalist based in France with a Master’s degree from École MoPA (Arles) in 3D conception and animation. I enjoy creating character-driven sequences and full visual stories, from layout and storyboard to modeling, rigging, animation, and rendering—always aiming for strong timing, movement, and a consistent visual style.
Across internships, freelance work, and my graduation film “Au gré du vent,” I’ve supported productions by solving technical and workflow challenges (including using Python for in-house pipeline needs), collaborating with teams, and adapting quickly to feedback. I’m comfortable leading small animation teams when needed, and I’m ready to relocate and bring my skills in Blender, rigging, and animation to new projects.
A strange flying structure hovers over a small village nestled among the mountains. Miya, a young girl drawn to this surreal vision, decides to approach it. Inside, she discovers a troupe of dancing, mysterious creatures that will forever change the way she sees the world.
Produced a 3D teaser for the 2026 Congress of Conservatoires d’espaces naturels de France, covering modeling, rigging, animation, and rendering in Blender. Solved production challenges during the teaser workflow and delivered an end-to-end asset for a real client event.
The brief was to create a short film on the theme: Food. It was made single-handedly, and all in 3ds Max, using V-Ray for rendering.
The brief was to promote a retro Object through a 30-second short film.
Created a 3D teaser for the 2026 Congress of Conservatoires d’espaces naturels de France. Modeled, rigged, animated, and rendered the project in Blender, while developing practical solutions to production challenges. Worked across the full pipeline to deliver a polished promotional teaser for an institutional event.
Worked on the graduation film “Au gré du vent” by handling storyboard and layout, and contributing to visual storytelling solutions. Animated about 65% of the short film while maintaining a homogeneous style, provided feedback/support to other departments, and managed schedules and deadlines for a team of 7 animators. Also used Python and multi-medium techniques to address technical challenges and improve production.
Modeled, rigged, animated, and directed the trailer for the mascot character “Monster” for La Maison du Bled. Crafted product showcases for 3D-scanned items sold by La Maison du Bled, supporting polished presentation assets and ensuring production quality across deliverables.
