Wilfried Lhomme

Senior Crowd TD at DNEG

Wilfried Lhomme began his career in France as an animator before moving to Canada, where he has built a diverse career across animation and visual effects. He initially worked as a 3D generalist, but the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a shift in focus toward crowd simulation. His first foray into this field came while working on PAW Patrol: The Movie at Mikros Animation, a pivotal moment that set the course for his specialization.


Since then, Wilfried has become a Senior Crowd Technical Director at DNEG, building expertise at major international studios including Digital Domain, Framestore, as well as animation studios such as ON Animation and Mikros Animation. He combines technical skill and creative problem-solving to bring complex crowd scenes to life across film and animation projects worldwide.

  • I am thankful to have had Wilfried join our team at Digital Domain to help us out with some major Marvel projects. He worked on both episodic projects and a major feature film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. This was his first job working with Houdini Crowds, and he did a fine job, working to improve both his technical and artistic skills.

  • In his first days joining the team, Wilfried nearly finalled a complex shot during his training period. He has very strong technical knowledge and understanding, a great attitude, and is a fantastic team member. I immediately appreciated the way he listened and was keen to learn. He asked the right questions and took the initiative to work on his shots. He ended up with an incredibly complex deliverable and had something to show nearly every day.
