Lyuying Guo
Hi! My name is Lyuying. I am a Technical Artist and Rigger. I am currently pursuing an MFA in Animation at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Both an artist and engineer at heart, I hold a deep curiosity for how everything works and how to make things work. Technical art unleashes both the creative and nerdy side of my brain. I am excited about technical challenges that emerge during rigging, shader development, among other tech art processes, and am always eager to find out the root of the problem through research and troubleshooting. What I find fascinating about creative technology is that if there is an issue, there is always a cause waiting to be logically diagnosed and creatively addressed.
When I am not clicking around in Maya, I like to draw slice-of-life comics and write articles about my observations and thoughts on the world around us.
