Machine: A Collection of My Work from Gnomon

Modeling, Texturing, Rigging, Motion Tracking, Animating, Lighting, and Compositing. This brief shot was completed with the help of LiDAR environment scanning (Polycam) to create a light-interactive, shadow catching environment. Advanced motion tracking software (PFTrack) was used to create a virtual camera to match the movement of the footage shot on iPhone.

Diecast Eyeris: Over 70 uniquely textured pieces coalesce into a dramatic character reveal. Volumetric fog and a sparse smoke simulation were art directed to add atmosphere and scale as this mysterious machine lowers before a protagonist.

Mesh to Metahuman: Using a 3D scan of my face to make a rigged model as a base for my dynamic vellum simulation.

My first in-depth experimentation with dynamic soft body physics, Epic's Metahuman Creator, and Houdini Grooming. A scan of my face was used to create a unique Metahuman DNA that was then hand-animated in Maya before being sent to Houdini to generate an internal "meat gel", hair, and wires. 

Testing the waters of Houdini FLIP and Pyro solvers with a dash of Vellum. A Mixamo animation drives and affects all of these dynamic elements to create a powerful and mesmerizing ocean slam shot sequence.
