Vanessa Schneider
3D Animator | Moho Animator | Singer/Songwriter
I’m passionate about animation and music, and love the creativity both passions bring to my life, both in and outside of work. With an eye for detail and an adaptable approach, I enjoy taking on new projects, exploring fresh workflows, and testing new rigs. My experience also includes humanoid and prop rigging in Maya, as well as puppet animation in Moho.For me, it’s all about balancing quality work with a love for the creative journey, and I’m excited to collaborate with others who share that outlook!
