MRPortrait of Mark Rijs

About

Hi, I'm Mark, a freelance VFX artist from the Netherlands. Ever since I was a kid, I've loved movies and that epic, exciting feeling of a great VFX shot. Around 2020 I started experimenting in Blender, and I realized I could make other people feel that too. Before long I knew this was what I wanted to do for a living.

I'm mostly self-taught, and I'm currently finishing my degree in film VFX at Breda University of Applied Sciences.

These days I mostly work in Blender, Houdini and Nuke, combining Blender's speed with the versatility of Houdini and Nuke when a shot needs it. That lets me handle 3D, effects simulations and compositing myself, with quick turnarounds and high output. I'm capable of tackling almost anything, and I love learning new things to reach a client's goals.

Away from the screen, I love photography, and I also play guitar and piano.

I'm open to any type of project, and the wilder the idea, the better. If you've got one, get in touch below.
