About Me

My name is Rodrigo Borges, 31 years old, and I`m a Senior Surfacing Artist. I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but currently living in Vancouver, CA.

I come from a very technical background before starting in the CGI world.

I started off in Brazil doing a technical Degree in Electronics and Telecommunications and after that, 2 years of Oil Engineering. I then decided to follow my dream to work on movies and games. So I got a Diploma in Graphic design, moved to Vancouver to study at Think Tank and specialize in textures and LookDev for films.

Besides working in Many exciting projects and surrounded by amazing people I also found a new passion in teaching.

I’m a very technical artist. My work revolves around non-destructive workflows and figuring out different ways of achieving realism. I have a passion for troubleshooting and understanding how the world works so I can better apply that knowledge in Look Development.
