About
I'm Virgilio Lora Chaviano, a Houdini Technical Artist and AI Creative Technologist with 10+ years of experience building procedural systems, VFX pipelines, and AI-augmented workflows for film, animation, and real-time production.
My core expertise lies at the intersection of procedural thinking and creative technology. I specialize in Houdini FX — simulations, procedural geometry, USD/Solaris pipelines — combined with cutting-edge AI tools like ComfyUI and ControlNet to deliver results that are both technically precise and visually compelling.
WHAT I DO:
- 3D Animation & VFX Simulation (particles, fluids, rigid body, procedural FX)
- Houdini USD/Solaris pipeline development
- AI-augmented render workflows (ComfyUI + ControlNet)
- Motion Graphics & real-time environments (Unreal Engine 5)
- Technical Art direction & pipeline consulting
- Procedural asset development for architecture and visualization
I founded Nodal Creative Studio in 2016 and operate under the MilVilAI brand for AI/procedural work. I work remotely with clients worldwide and am available 24/7 for projects, consultations, and pipeline support.
Let's build something extraordinary together.
