About

let's get acquainted

thevfx.net is my personal website and serves as an open archive of my work in visual effects, animation, and compositing. I use this platform to document my creative journey, experiment with new techniques, and showcase projects that challenge traditional production workflows. In line with my creative principles, I do not use artificial intelligence in my work.

ERJON SADIKU

Nuke Compositor | FX | Procedural systems | VFX. (self-educated)

  • I live and work in Tirana, Albania. I have over 15 years of experience in the 3D and visual effects.
  • 14 years ago, my goal was to master Nuke software, which allowed me to dive deeper into the techniques and tricks of the VFX industry. In recent years, however, Houdini has become the most fantastic tool I’ve worked with, and it continues to inspire me every day.
  • My ambition is to keep learning and share my knowledge with all VFX artists.
  • This version emphasizes Houdini’s significance in recent years. Let me know if you’d like further changes!
