Frédéric Poirier

technical animation for games

Starting as a character animator, I quickly became fond of 3D modeling and rigging.

Attention to detail led me to assume Artistic and Technical Direction responsibilities pretty early on, which provided me the incredible chance to work closely with Disney and work abroad.

Recently, I have focused on game cinematics and feature film animation. Sharing my passion took me into teaching as well.

Specialties: Ingame and cutscenes character animation, Mocap Shooting + Processing + Editing, Advanced Character rigging, MasScript, Facial Setup, Illustration skills, Storyboarding, Anatomy enthusiast, Graphic Researcher, Animation and Tools Teaching

Working with Fred was a real treat, not only because is a great animator, but because of his great understanding of anatomy he's also very proficient at modeling which greatly helps when you need to deal with character artists. He is the best technical animator I know and a master at making rigs for characters, he's also very passionate about his work and wants to achieve the best quality, I would recommend him anytime.

J'ai travaillé avec Frédéric dans le cadre du projet fédérateur que faisaient les étudiants dans le cadre de leur AEC en jeux vidéo. Fred agissait comme lead avec le groupe d'animateurs. Il a bien encadré les étudiants et les a bien guidés tout au long de la production. Je crois que les étudiants ont apprécié ses conseils et le support qu'il lui a apporté tout au long de la prod. un bon prof. Ça m'a fait plaisir de travailler avec lui.
