Lucas Brown
Senior Pipeline TD | CGI Automation Lead
Welcome. I am a technical leader specializing in scalable 3D content pipelines that support both automation and creative flexibility. My work bridges engineering and production, with experience developing cross-DCC tools in Blender, Maya, Unreal, and USD-based systems.
Over the past several years, I have led multi-team initiatives across asset publishing, spatial capture, and ML-powered workflows, reducing prep time and increasing reliability. I have built and maintained ShotGrid-based production systems, and developed real-time technical demos showcased at events like SIGGRAPH and NVida GTC. I focus on delivering systems that enable artists and scale studios without compromising creative intent.
