Showcase 2024 - Ysée Rodrigues - Lighting / Texturing Artist

I compiled the best projects from my first and the beginning of my second year at ESMA. I concentrated mainly on the subjects of Texturing and Lighting throughout this time, with the goal of progressing with every project. I hope you enjoy!

SHOE (school project):

My first slightly complex model where I solidified the basics. I also started learning Substance Painter with this project, which was very fun and a first step into more realistic texturing.

STILL LIFE IMAGE (school project):

We had to create a still life shot, and with so much freedom in choosing the subject, I decided to go for a still image that could still tell a story. I aimed to evoke a unsettling atmosphere through expressive lighting for a specific narrative.

FINAL IMAGE OF THE YEAR: THE BAR (school project)

At the end of that first year, we had a final project of designing a room based on a given theme. That year, our task was to create a bar. It was a great opportunity to bring together all the skills we had learned and create our first complete CG scene.

REPTILE (school project) :

This project was very challenging and interesting in my learning curve. It was my first time modeling and sculpting an organic creature, as I also wanted to achieve the most realistic visual I could through the texturing and lighting. This project spread out through 3 months in total and I tried to use that time to push myself and achieve the best render I could at that time.

Responsible for all aspects

I used Maya, Zbrush, Substance Painter, Renderman, andNuke
