About the lecturer

After completing his academic studies in the field of Animation in Engineering. Ognjen continued his professional path in the world of animation, modeling, film effects and the gaming industry. His first job was within the Cutscene sphere where he had the opportunity to perfect his knowledge of compositing, animation and film visual effects. As he says, he often knew how to dedicate his free time to learning the Houdini program, where over time he perfected his knowledge in procedural work and simulations. All these software and the various disciplines he practiced inspired him and led him to try to combine everything into one profession to which he would fully dedicate himself – visual effects in games.
