Mengni Yang

I am an Environment Generalist, Digital Matte Painter, and Visual Pioneering Artist with a deep background in CGI worldbuilding for film and TV. With 18+ years of artistic experience and a postgraduate degree in Computer Animation & VFX from Sheridan College, I specialize in creating cinematic environments, photoreal matte paintings, and real-time digital worlds.

My work combines VFX, virtual production, Unreal Engine, and AI-driven workflows to develop next-generation visual techniques for modern filmmaking. I evaluate emerging generative-AI tools, prototype new methods, and build AI + VFX hybrid workflows that support storytelling and production efficiency.

Alongside my VFX career, I founded My Ink Studio and have led creative projects across international art events, bringing a strong multidisciplinary perspective, adaptability, and problem-solving mindset to fast-paced production environments.
