Hi, I’m Leon Li, a 3D generalist and VFX artist based in Markham, Canada. I design and render 3D scenes, cinematics, and visual effects using Unreal Engine, Blender, Maya, and a wide range of industry tools. I enjoy shaping immersive visuals and collaborating with teams to bring ambitious ideas to life. Hi, I’m actively adopting AI-driven workflows (ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion, Kling, NanoBanana) to accelerate production, build custom pipelines, and push the boundaries of texture and look development. I recently completed the Visual Effects postgraduate program at George Brown Polytechnic and continue to grow my craft in Canada and beyond.…Hi, I’m Leon Li, a 3D generalist and VFX artist based in Markham, Canada.
