Kosuke Iwasaki

Lead Real-Time Artist at DNEG

Kosuke Iwasaki began his career as a videographer in Japan, where he was captivated by the potential of visual effects to bring his imagination to life. This eventually led him to Industrial Light & Magic, where he evolved from a digital paint artist to a 2D and 3D generalist, contributing to a wide array of films and TV series, including Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Loki, and Jurassic World 3: Dominion.


He currently serves as a lead real-time generalist in the Advanced Technology Group at DNEG. In this role, he engages in R&D, creates training materials, and contributes artistically to films and immersive experiences. 


In this ever-changing industry, Kosuke hopes artists will benefit from his Gnomon Workshop training so we can all navigate the exciting landscape of digital creation together!

  • I remember when Kosuke started his career at ILM, where his talent was immediately noticed and recognized. He was assigned to work on shots from start to finish, which allowed him to gain a deep understanding of various software and a range of artistic skills. Later on, his love for VFX led him to work on multiple projects, resulting in several wins in VFX competitions over the years. Beyond his technical abilities, Kosuke is a generous mentor and colleague. He is always eager to help and share his profound knowledge with others. Having the opportunity to learn from him is a chance you do not want to miss out on.

  • Kosuke has been an unwavering pillar of support for the artistic team, not only as an amazing artist but also aiding other artists in mastering a variety of 3D tools, workflows and techniques while sharing his knowledge. His approach makes the learning experience engaging and motivates them to further their expertise and technical skills.

  • It's been an enormous pleasure for me to work with Kosuke. Though he was leading us as a newly made supervisor, we didn't feel any difference; even all of our colleagues loved the guidance and treatment from him. In terms of professionalism, time of availability, and the ideas and knowledge he puts into every asset is outstanding. He's very passionate, knowledgeable as a supervisor in every aspect, like model/texture/color sense, look dev, lighting, and comp.
