Carlos Valcárcel was first trained in computer engineering at École Polytechnique de Montréal and continued his studies in computer graphics and 3D Animation at Centre NAD where he began his learning journey in the field of character creation. Since then, he has been specializing in rigging for over 20 years, while continuously pursuing a technical and artistic training. Having worked with many animation softwares, Carlos is always trying to move away from the limitations of current systems and tries to anticipate the future needs of character animation. In his free time, he uses his experience to mentor students and to develop rigging and animation tools for Houdini, where he believes greater work can be achieved in a better way.
