About
Inspired by difference
3D Luvr! 3D Geek! 3D Artist!
My name is Juan Carlos Jiménez "Anypixel". I was born in Madrid (Spain)
years ago and I’ve spent my entire life devoted to 3D, design, computer graphics and other kind of artistic expressions.
In 1992, I began using 3D Studio R2 for MS-DOS. So, I can fairly say that I have almost
years of experience.
Since 2007 I’m running my own company to work in lighting and visualization which are my real passion.
My professional career started out years ago as a VFX Artist in the company Next Limit. I was almost two years running RealFlow simulations for movies, commercials and TV.
Then I joined Ilion Animation Studios as a Senior Simulation and Effects Artist for the movie ‘Planet 51’ during six months.
After that, I worked at RandomControl, Differend Games and Habitania LightHub Studios, just to name a few companies.
I then switched to TV as a graphics supervisor, creating high-end graphics for some awarded shows and documentaries for several TV channels in Spain: Telecinco, TVE, Cuatro, TV3 and 8TV.
In 2010 I moved to Canada to work at Gameloft Montreal as lead lighting, shading and rendering artist for the Cinematics/Trailers department. After that, I made several works for Disney Consumer Products and Pixar creating art for 'Epic Mickey' videogame and 'Tron Legacy' and 'Cars 2' movies.
