CG Sheep

My passion is creating creatures in CG, for my final year my main goal was to create a CG animal from start to finish. I was fortunate to fulfill that desire through a school project and had the chance to collaborate with two classmates, which was a great experience. I learned a lot and I am quite proud of the outcome. I was responsible for the sculpting (Zbrush), grooming (Houdini) and animation (Houdini) of the Sheep. 

We had a real-life sheep as our reference and I enjoyed the challenge of recreating this existing creature, aiming to make the final result as realistic as possible.

Tomb Raider - Personal Project

Apart from my desire to improve my grooming skills, I also wanted to demonstrate my sculpting abilities. As a result, I embarked on a personal project where I recreated the character Lara Croft from the game Tomb Raider Legend, presenting my own adaptation.

The sculpt was created using Zbrush and the texturing was done using Substance Painter. The shading and rendering were handled in Houdini using Renderman.

Cinder - Animated Shortfilm

One of the most memorable highlights of my final year as a graduating student was the collaborative creation of a short film with my class in which I had the incredible opportunity to sculpt the main characters.

The characters were created based on a design provided by the art department and further developed through close collaboration among the art, directing, and sculpting teams. This process resulted in the final outcome that was achieved.

The cloth was provided by a classmate who designed the garments in Marvelous Designer. It was my responsibility to make those garments functional and suitable for our project.
