About
Rigging for believable performance
Senior creature, character, and vehicle rigging focused on dependable controls, believable deformation, and production-friendly tools.
Matteo’s work sits where anatomy, deformation, mechanics, and production engineering meet: building rigs that help animators create convincing motion without fighting the system.
The next direction is technical art and game development, carrying a VFX rigging foundation into Maya, Python, Unreal Engine, and real-time character workflows.
