Jules R.
Houdini FX artist and Nuke compositor based in Kigali, Rwanda (UTC+2). I build realistic fire, smoke, explosions, destruction, water and particle FX in SideFX Houdini, track shots in SynthEyes, and composite everything into the plate in Nuke so it looks shot, not added. FX: Pyro (fire, smoke, explosions), RBD destruction (buildings, vehicles, glass), FLIP liquids, particles (sparks, debris, magic, energy). Rendered in Karma/Solaris. Compositing: green-screen keying, roto, paint/cleanup and object removal, screen replacement, CG integration, light, lens and grain matching. Tracking: camera, object and planar tracks with lens distortion in SynthEyes. Credits: - VFX Artist at KiloHills Productions, Kigali (2025 - present): Nuke compositor on the Thirty Three Global x Makeda brand film - Co-Founder & FX Artist, Nova FX Studios (2024 - present): FX and compositing on THE INVASION (Rwandan sci-fi series), lead compositor on the Mist Valley Films ident (CG title tracked into drone footage) Tools: Houdini, Nuke, SynthEyes, After Effects, Karma/Solaris, Blender. Delivery as EXR sequences, ProRes or alpha elements, 1080p to 4K.
