Kaysee Marrison

Interior and Animation specialist at Archilime

"I am the Interior and Animation specialist at Archilime. A Lot of my work involves creating realistic materials for interior CGI’s and being creative in cinematography for architectural animation. I have a wide knowledge of modeling and rendering software, which we use here at Archilime to create our fully immersive 3D visualizations, and my passion enables me to be innovative in finding new techniques to push boundaries in visualization. I believe the trick to making a good CGI is all in the detail.”

Ivan Kozaliev

V-Ray CG specialist at Chaos

"I am a CG Specialist for Chaos, I developed a background in architecture, participating in various building design projects up to high-rise buildings and skyscrapers. After years in architecture, my passion for 3D prevailed and made visualization my career of choice. My enthusiasm brought me to Chaos and nowadays one can find me involved in visualization projects where my architectural experience is crucial for performing assignments employing a combination of my 3D skills and programming logic."
