Summary

I'm Giacomo, a 24 y/o Technical Artist and Motion Designer based in Turin, Italy.
I love procedural stuff, simulations, solving problems (even if they don’t exist yet), learning and sharing what I know with other people!
I also enjoy coding, because why doing it yourself when a computer can do it for you? Blip.
