Hi and welcome to the new VFX Essentials channel. PVC has been very gracious enough to give me my very own piece of PVC to better organize and present my work to all of you. If you have been trying to find any of my old content on PVC or have been wanting to more easily keep track of any new posts I make, this will be the place to bookmark. Thanks so much to PVC and thank you for viewing my work here on PVC over the years. It’s nice to finally have it all accessible from one place now. With that, I wanted to go ahead and share some of my older posts. Enjoy.
