  • Nacho and I worked together at DNEG on several projects, and he is one of those rare artists who is the complete package: artistically gifted, technically adept, and a pleasure to work with. A great supervisor/artist. Put it this way: DNEG had a suite of tools for advanced DMP work and they were called "Nacho Tools.

  • I have worked with Nacho for several years at DNEG and ILM, working side by side on a lot of shows. He Is an amazing generalist: lighting, modeling, texturing, lookdev, and great matte-painting skills. He has a really good artistic eye, and he applies this in all areas. A team leader that gives solutions to the most complex VFX challenges, he is definetly a reference artist to learn the good ways to work in matte painting and generalist environments.
