About Me

Hi, I’m Karim Hudson, a 3D Technical Animator passionate about breathing life into digital characters through rigging and animation. My journey into 3D started unexpectedly in a 3D printing class during my undergrad years, sparking a fascination that led me to pursue an MFA in Digital Production Arts. In graduate school, I truly fell in love with rigging—crafting the unseen frameworks that make characters move, emote, and interact seamlessly.

I specialize in developing efficient rigging pipelines, creating custom tools to optimize animation workflows, and exploring innovative techniques like secondary animation to enhance immersion in video games. My experience spans indie projects, animated shorts, and research in real-time animation techniques using Maya and Unreal Engine.

Beyond work, I’m a fan of all things animation, manga, and video games. While I might not be the biggest sports fan, I love the energy of a roaring crowd—whether in an arena or a packed convention hall. Originally from Tampa Bay, FL, I’m always excited to connect with fellow artists, developers, and storytellers who share a passion for pushing the boundaries of digital animation.

Let’s create something amazing together!
