About
Hi, I’m Asif Younus, a senior 3D generalist and pipeline architect with over 15 years of experience in high-end feature animation and complex VFX sequences. My work spans Netflix and Warner Bros. features (The Umbrella Academy, Lamya’s Poem) to high-fidelity brand visualization for global blue-chip clients. I excel at bridging the technical-creative gap, architecting robust pipelines that translate ambitious cinematic visions into reality. I’m deeply proficient in Maya and 3ds Max, focusing on environment leadership, complex 3D/2D hybrid integration, and scalable production workflows. My approach emphasizes pre-vis-to-final workflows, structural integrity of scenes, lighting, FX, and compositing, and I champion world-first narrative environments and multi-pass EXR workflows for authentic integration of 2D and 3D elements.
