Asset Artist
Psyop | EA, Apex Legends
I had a great time working on Apex Legends shorts, sometimes using concept paintings or in-progress game objects as a starting point. It was an interesting challenge to make things look good in the comic-like style when modeling/texturing. Lots of assets had to be built to fit characters/props or work for FX, and I also got experience laying out large scenes with lots of parts.
Outfit
For this personal project I wanted to get more familiar with making clothing in Marvelous designer, and try cloth simulation for the first time. The outfit was inspired by fashion photography and I collected photo reference from luxury resale sites. The character animation is from Mixamo, and I did the simulation with nCloth in Maya on a single sided lower resolution version of the outfit.
The Mill | Target
I created models/UVs for hand sanitizer, sharpie highlighters, pens/mechanical pencils, erasers, paperclips etc., and all of the objects on the pink binder for a series of Target back to school ads. The models had to match the photos from on-set and the website, and keeping measurements in mind was important.
FILFURY | Chain Bird
I worked with LA-based artist/director FILFURY on this personal project of his. I created multiple versions of the bird based on sketches he provided, and made revisions based on his feedback. The chain links were modeled without welds to have a sleeker look, and the handcuffs were built to resemble real cuffs without being an exact copy of any specific brand.
The Mill | Riot Games, Mercedes
I built a series of stone monuments with logos, a stone arch, and several procedural materials that were used for lots of assets.
Blériot XXVII
I spotted a pre-WW1 French racing plane on a visit to the Royal Air Force museum in London, and I loved the seven cylinder engine with the really distinctive engine cover, and all of the exposed wood frame. I laid out the UVs in rows based on material, and used procedural approaches in many of my texturing masks. The displacement was made with a combination of hand painting/procedurals in Substance Painter, and logos/text drawn in Illustrator.
Psyop | Dell
I created models/UVs for the parts of the monitor stand and arm, including several logos. In some cases I was responsible for making quick low res topology for FX artists, and I also modeled some clean subdividing parts that would work for close up renders.
The Mill | Google
I modeled a series of Chromebooks, using the physical object
and calipers to take precise measurements. I focused on making
clean subdividing topology that would hold up even in super close
up shots.
