BEGINNING

by mikelevfx on 1 Jun 2022 for Rookie Awards 2022

It wasn't until last year that I decided to head my studies towards VFX and virtual production. Therefore, in September of 2021 I began learning the 3D basics from scratch, in this entry I aim to show the most interesting work I've done so far.

GRACE:

This is definetely one of my favourite projects. I began exploring cloth simutations in maya; I combined different ncloth parameters with force fields and/or animated constraints to create interesting movements. Once I had them, I designed the material; the pattern design is based off the first three letters of my name (Mikele), provided I was trying to give it my personal touch. When it comes to the fabric choice,  I wanted to try mixing a sturdy looking fabric with something much more elegant, and that´s when introducing reflective materials in the cloth came to my mind, besides I really liked the idea of light hitting the reflectve parts in movement.

WIGS:

Even though grooming was a quite challenging skill to learn, I really enjoyed creating interesting hairstyles and experimenting with different colours and hair-textures. 

I´m really looking forward to explore more and more interesting fiels of expertise within the industry, as I said, this is just the beggining.
