Available to hire
Hi! I’m Lionel Wainsztok, a senior 3D artist and motionographer originally from Argentina, now living in Spain. Over the past 15 years, I have worked with major animation, design, and VFX studios around the world, contributing to projects for renowned clients like Fox, Sony, Nickelodeon, and META. I started my career in traditional 2D animation before evolving into a 3D artist and Technical Director, focusing on creating effective 3D pipelines and leading teams.
My expertise spans lighting, shading & rendering, polygonal modeling, organic sculpting, rigging, animation, particles, simulations, and compositing. I’m passionate about consulting, teaching, and sharing practical industry knowledge to help studios and teams thrive in today’s competitive creative environment.
