Linus Schneider

Houdini Artist / Direction / CG Supervision

I am a senior CGI specialist delivering high-end visuals for advertising, film, and design-driven projects, working at the intersection of creative direction, technical development, and production execution.

With a strong emphasis on Houdini-based workflows, I design production-ready assets, procedural systems, and scalable pipelines that support projects from early concept through to final delivery. My setups are built to be robust, art-directable, and reliable under real production constraints.

I collaborate directly with agencies, studios, directors, and brands worldwide — as a senior artist, technical lead, or end-to-end owner — contributing to projects ranging from complex hero shots to the development of complete production pipelines for demanding CGI productions. The focus is always on solutions that are technically reliable and achievable within real production constraints.

Alongside traditional CGI, I evaluate and integrate emerging technologies where they offer genuine creative or operational advantages. My approach to AI and machine learning emphasizes control, predictability, and production reliability, treating these tools as extensions of established craft rather than replacements for it.

When appropriate, projects can scale through collaboration with a trusted network of senior artists and specialists, including members of the Zurich-based PULK collective.
