Avner Engler — Co-Founder

I’ve always been drawn to how things are made, especially the surreal worlds of commercials. As a kid, I was often more captivated by the ads than the shows themselves. That curiosity never left me. Today, I’m a senior 3D motion designer, and I run Huemains, a creative studio built on the belief that storytelling and technology evolve best together. We create simulation-driven visuals using Houdini, combine them with procedural design systems, and integrate advanced AI workflows for full creative control. At Huemains, we don’t just make ads, we craft visual content that earns attention. In a world flooded with noise, we help brands stand out by creating experiences that feel more like entertainment than advertising. We design for virality, cultural relevance, and shareability, working across social platforms and formats like DOOH/FOOH. Whether it's a fluid simulation as abstract storytelling or an AI-generated world rooted in brand identity, our work is made to be seen and remembered. We train our own LoRA models, tailor AI tools to each project, and integrate generative outputs into full 3D pipelines. This allows for rapid iteration, unique visuals, and a tighter loop between concept and execution. My creative journey is self-taught. I started with Cinema 4D and After Effects, but Houdini became the core of how I think and build. I’ve developed a deep specialization in liquid simulations, especially with FLIP, to create expressive, high-impact motion that blends realism with abstraction. From ink-like trails and splashes to full-scale fluid systems, I use liquids as a dynamic storytelling device. Houdini’s procedural logic also powers our cloth (Vellum), destruction (RBD), and cinematic pyro effects. Before launching Huemains, I worked with brands like L’Oréal, Renault, Hublot, Garnier, and Slingshot Aerospace. A standout moment was collaborating with Renault HQ on a future-facing UX project for vehicles of 2030 and beyond. While my focus is on growing Huemains, I continue to take on select freelance projects—especially those that challenge convention or push the boundaries of motion design. If you’re curious how 3D, AI, and procedural design can elevate your brand, let’s connect.
