ARTIST BIO
TYLER HURD
Hi. I'm a 3D Animator & Filmmaker in San Francisco and I like making characters do ridiculous things that make people laugh. For the last 12 years I've been working as a 3D Animator / Character TD / Tech Artist / Art Lead / General Supporter of the projects I've contributed to. My career started when I was 19 years old at Double Fine Productions. For 9 years I worked on award winning and critically acclaimed games like Psychonauts and Brutal Legend. In 2012 I began freelancing in the advertising scene in NYC and focusing on solo projects between gigs. Last year I moved back to San Francisco to be part of the growing VR scene after converting my short film "BUTTS" to a VR experience and getting super pumped about it. I'm currently working my next VR project, and I'm excited to continue growing as a solo artist.
