About Leonardo

I’m a Senior Technical Director and VFX artist with more than 20 years of experience in the visual effects and animation industry.

Throughout my career I’ve worked across Italy, France, Belgium, and the UK, contributing to VFX, animation, procedural workflows, and production pipeline development for studios and creative companies.

My background includes Maya, Houdini, procedural systems, workflow automation, technical pipeline development, and custom production tools.

I focus heavily on practical production-oriented workflows, helping artists and technical users understand not only how tools work, but how they are used in real studio environments.

In recent years I’ve specialized in procedural workflows, technical art, and node-based systems for scalable and reusable production solutions.

About the lesson

This is an advanced Bifrost course designed for students who already have a solid understanding of Maya and want to expand into procedural and technical workflows.

The course focuses on developing production-oriented Bifrost systems, custom compounds, reusable node graphs, and procedural workflows for VFX and animation.

Lessons are tailored to the student’s goals and technical level.\n\nTopics may include:

- Bifrost fundamentals
- Graph logic and data flow
- Custom compounds
- Procedural modelling
- Scattering systems
- Simulations
- Instancing workflows
- Field systems
- Geometry processing
- Attribute workflows
- Production debugging
- Performance optimization
- Reusable procedural setups
- Pipeline integration
- Technical workflows for VFX

My teaching method focuses on simplifying complex technical systems into smaller and understandable building blocks.
Rather than learning isolated nodes mechanically, students learn how to think procedurally and how to design scalable workflows that can be used in real production environments.

This course is ideal for:

- Technical artists
- Advanced Maya users
- VFX artists
- Pipeline TDs
- Procedural artists
- Motion graphics artists
- Artists transitioning toward technical direction

Please note:
This is not an introductory Maya course. A good working knowledge of Maya is already expected.

I highly recommend Leonardo as generative ComfyUI tutor. He is excellent in explaining complex AI concepts in a simple way, even for complete beginner, making challenging topics much more approachable. I learned how to use ComfyUI and how to apply them to interior design workflows. He is very knowledgeable, patient and able to adapt the lessons to my professional background, providing guidance and examples that made the learning experience highly valuable.
