My name is Salvatore Coco. I’m the founder of CDA3DLive. Let’s make visualizations unique again.
I have more than 25 years of experience in the CG Industry.
Over the past 25 Years, I have continuously improved my skills and learned new technologies, ranging from Architecture and product visualisations to VR and AR solutions. My development never stops. Never stop learning, and keep moving.
My skills span a wide range, including Project Management, Workflow, and a deep understanding of various DCCs for texturing, lighting, modeling, material creation, composition, virtual camera setup, animation, rendering engines, color grading, and compositing.
VFX and CG Work on:
- digital effects for “The Halloween Pranksta” (2014), directed by Carl Paolino and co-produced by Mark Hamill.
- digital effects for The Talisman (2014) directed by Edwin Pagan
