Experienced 3D Artist, Animator & Visualiser Delivering High-End CGI Animation

Hi, I’m Steve Wilson, a freelance 3D artist, 3D animator, and 3D visualiser based in the UK with more than 25 years of experience creating high-quality CGI animation, photorealistic renders and technical visualisations for clients around the world.

Since first discovering 3D in 1996, I’ve had the privilege of working on over 1,000 projects across a wide range of industries, helping brands, agencies and businesses communicate ideas through engaging visual content. I specialise in combining creativity with technical expertise to produce animations and imagery that are both visually striking and commercially effective.

Experience Across Multiple Industries

Throughout my career, I’ve created work for sectors including aerospace, automotive, defence, healthcare, architecture, industrial engineering, mining and consumer products. I’ve worked with clients and brands including Honda, Microsoft, Jaguar Land Rover, Vitality, Vype, TrueNoord, AMD, Merck, and many others.

Whether creating photoreal product renders, cinematic animations or highly technical visualisations, I enjoy tackling projects that require both creativity and problem solving.

Technical Expertise & Engineering Background

One of my greatest strengths is the ability to solve complex technical challenges. My engineering background, combined with decades of experience, allows me to approach projects analytically while maintaining a strong focus on design, realism and storytelling.

I began using 3ds Max in 1996 and was an early user of the alpha versions of V-Ray. Over the years I’ve developed extensive experience with a range of industry-leading tools 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 everything from product animations and motion graphics to fluid simulations, smoke effects, particle systems and cinematic visual effects.

Flexible Freelance Support

Having worked as a freelancer for many years, I understand the pressures involved in commercial production. Projects often come with demanding schedules and evolving requirements, and I pride myself on being reliable, flexible and easy to work with.

I regularly collaborate with agencies, creative teams and businesses, adapting to existing workflows and helping projects move smoothly from concept through to final delivery. Whether it’s a single image or a complex animation, I aim to provide high-quality work, clear communication and dependable support throughout the process.

Still Passionate About 3D

After more than two decades in the industry, I still enjoy learning new techniques and exploring new technologies. I love the balance between creativity and problem solving that computer graphics offers, and I find it incredibly rewarding to help clients bring ideas to life.

From elegant product visualisations and cinematic animations to complex simulations and technical projects, I enjoy finding solutions and creating imagery that informs, inspires and leaves a lasting impression.
