Chat with Disney Environment Modeling Supervisor and Artist Luis Labrador

AnimSchool Instructor Interview: Luis Labrador
For over two decades, Luis Labrador has established a prominent reputation in the 3D visual effects and animation industry as a skilled 3D modeling artist. Luis began his career as a special makeup effects artist in Spain in the early 1990’s. His professional path took a new direction after he watched "Jurassic Park" in 1993. Seeing the CG-generated dinosaurs sparked his interest in pursuing a career in 3D.
Currently, Luis works as a 3D Environment Modeling Supervisor at Walt Disney Animation Studios where he’s been since 2011. During his time there, he has been involved in notable projects such as "Frozen," "Big Hero 6," and "Encanto." In his free time, Luis also dedicates himself to teaching 3D Modeling to students from around the world through AnimSchool and ANIMUM Creativity Advanced School. His virtual classroom has seen numerous students pass through its doors, many of whom are now working in the industry today.
AnimSchool recently had the opportunity to speak with Luis Labrador about his experience and journey in the animation industry and about teaching at AnimSchool. He also provided valuable advice for aspiring artists navigating the industry today.

I had the exact same thoughts about AI art. It’s useful for generating images that could act as inspiration, but not as your actual art.
