About

I’m Ilya Timofeev, a 3D technical animator based in Minsk, Belarus. I love everything CG, from modeling to VFX, but my true passion lies in animation, especially character animation and rigging. I have experience across multiple studios and enjoy building efficient pipelines and tools to support the team’s work, including motion matching and Unreal Engine development.

Over the years I’ve cleaned mocap data, rigged characters, and implemented animation blueprints, blending artistic sensibility with technical know-how. I’m proactive, collaborative, and always eager to tackle new challenges in gaming, VFX, and real-time projects.
