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, and VEX programming. As a generalist, I also use ZBrush for sculpting and Substance Painter for texturing.

I have 9 years of professional experience as a 3D Artist and 5 years specializing as a Houdini Grooming Artist. I studied Computer Science at Cracow University of Technology and graduated with a bachelor's degree in 2015.

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