Short Bio:
Rod initiated his career on SGI IRIX systems using Microsoft Softimage 3D 3.7. He later became a Maya TD, creating the renowned mzFeather tool. Following Avid's acquisition of Softimage XSI and the release of version 4.0, he reverted to using XSI.
Over time, he deepened his expertise in Visual FX and Creature Effects, mastering ICE (Softimage's procedural effects system) before adopting SideFX Houdini as his primary tool for complex visual effects work.
