Freelance 3D Artist, 3D Animator & CGI Visualiser Based in the UK

Hi, I’m Steve Wilson, a freelance 3D artist, 3D animator, and 3D visualiser with over 25 years of experience creating high-quality CGI animation,
product visuals, motion graphics and photorealistic imagery for clients throughout the UK and internationally.

I help brands, agencies and businesses communicate ideas through striking visuals and engaging animation, combining artistic creativity with technical expertise to produce work that is both visually impressive and commercially effective. Whether it’s a single still image, a complex product animation or a large-scale visualisation project, I strive to deliver work that exceeds expectations.

Over the years, I have completed more than 850 projects and have had the opportunity to work with clients including Microsoft, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Vype, Vitality, TrueNoord, AMD, Qantas, Merck, and many others.

High-End 3D Animation & Visualisation Services

I specialise in creating premium 3D animation, 3D visualisation, and CGI content for a wide range of industries. My work includes:

Product animation
Photorealistic product renders
Motion graphics and explainer videos
Aerospace visualisation
Automotive visualisation
Architectural visualisation
Defence and military animation
Medical and healthcare visualisation
Industrial and engineering animation
Technical and scientific visualisation
Matchmoving and compositing
Particle, smoke and fluid simulations

From concept through to final delivery, every project receives the same level of care and attention to detail.

Advanced Technical Skills & Problem Solving

One of my greatest strengths as a 3D artist and animator is the ability to solve complex technical challenges.
My engineering background and decades of experience allow me to combine creativity with analytical thinking to develop practical solutions and efficient workflows.

I began using 3ds Max in 1996 and was an early user of the alpha versions of V-Ray, giving me many years of experience in producing photorealistic renders and cinematic animations.
My technical expertise enables me to tackle challenging projects involving complex materials, lighting, camera matching, compositing, and physically based simulations.

I regularly work with industry-leading software including:

3ds Max
V-Ray
After Effects
Photoshop
Illustrator
Substance Painter
ZBrush
TyFlow
PhoenixFD
SynthEyes
Forest Pack
RailClone
Element 3D
Trapcode Particular

These tools allow me to create realistic materials, fluid simulations, particle systems, smoke effects, destruction sequences, and cinematic visual effects that bring products and ideas to life.

Simulation, Dynamics & Visual Effects

In addition to traditional 3D visualisation, I specialise in advanced 3D simulations and dynamic effects. Using TyFlow and PhoenixFD,
I create realistic fluid simulations, smoke, fire, particles, debris, cloth, and dynamic interactions that add realism and impact to animations.

These techniques are particularly useful for premium product animations, advertising campaigns, and cinematic sequences where movement and physical behaviour play an important role in storytelling.

Flexible Freelance Support for Agencies & Businesses

Having worked as a freelancer for many years, I understand the pressures involved in commercial production and tight schedules. I pride myself on being flexible, approachable, and easy to work with.
I frequently collaborate with creative agencies, marketing teams and production companies, integrating seamlessly into existing workflows and adapting to changing project requirements.

I am comfortable working to demanding deadlines and understand that projects often require rapid turnarounds and efficient problem solving.
Whether working independently or alongside larger teams, I focus on clear communication, reliability and delivering high-quality results on time.

Experience Across Multiple Industries

Throughout my career, I have created 3D animation and CGI visualisation for numerous sectors, including:

Aerospace
Automotive
Architecture
Defence and military
Product design
Consumer electronics
Healthcare and pharmaceuticals
Industrial engineering
Mining
Medical visualisation
Technology and software
Advertising and marketing

This broad experience allows me to understand the technical requirements and visual language of different industries, ensuring that each project is tailored to its intended audience.

Creating Exceptional Visual Content

My goal is simple: to create visually compelling animations and imagery that help clients communicate ideas, promote products and tell stories.
By combining creativity, technical ability and decades of experience, I deliver high-quality 3D animation and visualisation that is both beautiful and effective.

Whether you require a single photorealistic render, a full product launch animation, motion graphics, or complex simulation work, I’d be delighted to discuss your project and explore how I can help bring your ideas to life.
