Gilles Vink

About

My name is Gilles Vink. I am a Pipeline TD from the Netherlands. I really like to make even more possible, accessible and less time consuming in Visual Effects by developing efficient pipelines and by creating artist-friendly tools. One of the tools I made is the MagicDefocus Nuke node. Please feel free to reach out to me via mail or LinkedIn :)
