Hi, I’m David E. Lim, a 3D FX artist based in Barcelona with about two decades of experience in 3D design for luxury brands. I specialize in shader work, lighting, liquids, smoke, and particle simulations (Phoenix FD, Ty Flow), as well as photoreal animation and high-end CGI renders with 3DS Max and V-Ray. I’ve built a strong portfolio across automotive campaigns, fashion visuals, and branded content, always pushing for believable textures and cinematic look. I’m passionate about collaboration and pushing the limits of 3D to deliver immersive, visually striking results. I enjoy remote collaboration, sharing knowledge, and taking projects from concept to final CGI, while staying organized, proactive, and adaptable to tight deadlines. Based in Barcelona, I’m excited to explore new challenges in VFX, design, and animation with ambitious teams.
