David Silberbauer

VFX Artist at Sunrise Animation Studio

David Silberbauer is, by nature, a procedural artist. He loves building systems in Houdini that can be manipulated and played with to achieve different and seemingly endless results. He currently works at Sunrise Animation Studio as a VFX Artist, and in his spare time, he likes to get lost in the massive world of Houdini. He is deeply inspired by nature and enjoys trying to replicate natural patterns and textures in his art and using Houdini.

  • I had the great pleasure of working with David on a short film for the Star Wars: Visions anthology, where he served as the Set Dressing lead. David is a true Houdini wizard. Using elegant procedural setups, themselves a thing of beauty, he has created the most stunningly gorgeous environments at scales that are truly staggering. David has forever changed the way I work.

  • David has a strong eye for detail and a very good understanding of the Production Process. He [is] always willing to accommodate other departments with FX and Set requirements as well as assist his fellow Artists where needed … David is a brilliant and accomplished artist who I would highly recommend for any 3D animated project.

  • What a champ! No matter the task, [David] always nailed the work. Across the projects, [he] played an incredible roll and [was] responsible for developing some of the most complicated tasks.
