Nacho Thomas

Generalist Artist/Supervisor

Nacho Thomas is an Environment Supervisor at El Ranchito with over 20 years of experience in the CG industry. He has worked in a variety of roles, from artist to CG supervisor, and specializes as a Generalist focused on digital environments.


Nacho has contributed to feature film and television projects at top VFX studios including Industrial Light & Magic, MPC, Framestore, DNEG, and El Ranchito. His credits span high-profile productions such as Andor, Invasion, The Mandalorian, Transformers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Exodus, The Jungle Book, 47 Ronin, Bridgerton, and many more.

  • Nacho and I worked together at DNEG on several projects, and he is one of those rare artists who is the complete package: artistically gifted, technically adept, and a pleasure to work with. A great supervisor and artist. Put it this way: DNEG had a suite of tools for advanced DMP work and they were called Nacho Tools.

  • I have worked with Nacho for several years at DNEG and ILM, working side by side on a lot of shows. He is an amazing generalist with lighting, modeling, texturing, lookdev, and great matte-painting skills. He has a really good artistic eye, and he applies this in all areas. A team leader that gives solutions to the most complex VFX challenges, he is definitely a reference artist to learn the good ways to work in matte painting and generalist environments.
