Background

About Gurumurthy Mande

I’m a Character/Asset Supervisor with a strong background in textures, look development, workflow development, and leading teams. I’m passionate about bringing characters, creatures, and DigiDoubles to life for feature films while ensuring the work is creative, efficient, and of the highest quality. I’ve led character and asset teams, focusing on delivering quality work while handling the fast pace and challenges of production. While leading teams, I took pride in mentoring and training artists to be VFX production ready, helping them build practical skills and confidence. I’m always looking to refine textures and lookdev workflows to boost efficiency without sacrificing quality. I enjoy collaborating across departments to tackle creative and technical challenges. I have contributed to multiple pitch projects, playing an active role that helped secure successful wins, including The Little Mermaid, Snow White, NOPE, and Aliens Earth. I’ve been fortunate to work on exciting projects like The Jungle Book, Justice League, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Aquaman 2, and Dungeons & Dragons. Each has brought unique challenges and valuable lessons that continue to shape how I approach my work. I believe great results come from teams that communicate well, support each other, and stay motivated. My goal is to foster an environment where people enjoy the process while pushing creative and technical boundaries together.
