Hi, I’m Hector McCredie, a Creative VFX artist with a strong foundation in animation, texturing, and environmental design. I’m passionate about crafting emotive performances, believable lighting, and immersive environments, and I’m seeking junior lighting, environment, and 3D generalist roles within a CGI team. I’m a Drexel University graduate (cum laude) with practical experience from internships, freelance projects, and work shown at SIGGRAPH, and I hold American/British dual citizenship, which supports international opportunities. My work blends technical craft with storytelling, and I enjoy collaborating across teams to bring ideas to life—from concept to final render. I’m eager to grow as a lighting artist and 3D generalist, contribute to scalable pipelines, and help create engaging experiences for diverse audiences.
