This was one of the most challenging projects I worked on during my time at Brazen Animation. The timeline was extremely short relative to the scope and level of quality we needed to achieve with a small team, which meant we had to be highly efficient throughout production.

I was involved in many aspects of the pipeline and was responsible for the modeling and surfacing of the main character, using client-provided sculpts as a starting point. I also built the USD environment, taking modular assets and textures from the game and repurposing them for Arnold. This included optimizing the scene to perform well for animators while still maintaining the fidelity required for final renders.

I also helped supervise our FX artist and integrated the FX into the pipeline by setting up shaders and render passes for compositing. In addition, I handled lighting and compositing on several shots. Overall, it was a demanding but rewarding project, and I’m proud of the work the team delivered under a tight deadline.
