Hi, I’m Fabricio Navarro, a 3D visual effects artist based in the Greater São Paulo Area with over two decades of experience in feature films and advertising. I specialize in MEL scripting, particles, simulations, look development, Autodesk Maya, Houdini, Renderman, camera tracking, and Fusion, and I’ve led 3D departments at several high-profile studios in São Paulo. My career began in 1997, and I’ve since coordinated VFX workflows for numerous projects, balancing technical excellence with storytelling. Throughout my career I founded Invaders FX and later joined Guara F/X Pos Produções as a VFX Supervisor and Director of 3D. I’ve contributed to over 28 national feature films, including TROPA DE ELITE 2, and in 2019 the film O GRANDE CIRCO MISTICO won the best special effects award. I’m passionate about shaping creative visions into compelling visual experiences and mentoring teams to deliver production-ready solutions.
