Summary

Hi! My name is Alicja Cygan. I'm a Houdini Grooming Artist and 3D/VFX Generalist from Poland.

I have a passion for hair, fur, animals, creatures, and especially for creating furred and haired characters. I’m constantly expanding my skills in Houdini, focusing on Vellum simulations, tool creation, VEX and Python programming. As a generalist, I also use ZBrush for sculpting and Substance Painter for texturing.

I have 10 years of professional experience as a 3D Artist and 6 years specializing as a Houdini Grooming Artist. Recently, I’ve also been researching AI possibilities in 3d animation production.

I studied Computer Science at Cracow University of Technology.

Outside of my 3D work, I am a dancer, gymnast, and a huge cat lover.
