Portfolio Swann Valenza 2019 - 2020

MoPA DIDAC DOC - Cistude :

This is a group project ! 

The big project of our second year was to create an educational film about a turtle populating the waters of the Camargue, in France. 

Our short film is 3 minutes long, and I made it alongside Baptiste Duchamps, Maxime Foltzer, Julien Coetto and Robin Beltran. 

I was responsible of the character modelling, texturing, some props modelling and texturing, some animation, some compositing and sound design.

Character design and modelling :

Concept art by me and Robin Beltran :

Compositing : 

Zombie Head :

This is my latest personnal project !

I wanted to relax a bit with a no-brainer project, and I found myself discovering grooming and testing new things in sculpting and texturing. 

It was really cool to create something disgusting !  I had a lot of fun !

Done with 3ds Max, V-Ray, Blender, Zbrush, Substance Painter, Nuke and Photoshop.

Turn around and break down :

10 seconds : 

This project was a 10 second loop animation on the theme of space.

It was the first time I had to make a viable character for animation, as well as the first time that I was really going to animate something. This exercise taught me a lot, and I had a lot of fun doing it ! 

I used 3ds Max, V-Ray, Zbrush, Substance Painter,  After Effect, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and Nuke.

I spent a lot of time working on the textures, and I learned pretty much all I know today about modelling hard surface ! 

Rhino Warrior :

This character is also a personnal project ! 

My goal was to make a complete character in less than 1 week ; 

I did it on 3ds Max, V-Ray, Zbrush, Substance Painter and Photoshop.

Concepts and break down :

Frozen in time :

This work was an imaginary landscape exercise made for school.

My goal was to create a post-apocalyptic landscape, while keeping a poetic and original image ; So I imagined a scene where Big Ben was found trapped in ice, maybe after a tsunami submerged it and an ice age froze it.

I worked a lot on the composition, trying to get something calm but still dynamic. I wanted the wave to be visible, without being noticed from the first look !

This was my first big CG project at school, I used 3ds Max, V-Ray, Zbrush, Substance Painter, Nuke and Photoshop.

Concept art and step by step break down ;

Thanks for your attention, I hope you enjoyed my work !
