Welcome to my portfolio!

 I'm E. Jefferson Maisonneuve, a Technical Artist and Rigging Specialist with a passion for crafting efficient tools, pipelines, and workflows that empower animators, modelers, and game developers. With extensive experience in Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine 5, Python, and C++, I develop automated rigging systems, animation tools, and shaders that optimize production processes for both games and animation. 

• Rigging & Character Setup – Advanced rigging solutions for humanoids, quadrupeds, birds, and vehicles, ensuring animator-friendly control systems.
• Tool Development – Custom Python and C++ scripts, batch exporters, and UI tools to streamline workflows in Maya and Blender.
• Shader & Pipeline Development – Real-time shaders and dynamic material systems for game engines and animation pipelines.
• Automation & Workflow Optimization – Designing scripts and toolsets that enhance production efficiency, from modeling to animation and rendering.

I believe in a problem-solving mindset: developing tools and solutions that seamlessly integrate into production environments. Whether it's creating auto-riggers, custom UI menus, or export tools, I focus on streamlining the creative process so artists can focus on their craft.
