Character modelling, Facial Shapes, Lighting
This movie is from Universal Studios being done by Framestore Animation (UK).
I worked as a Lighter using Renderman. It was such a challenge and great experience due to the complex pipeline we were working with.
The look required the usage of a number of CG features like: fur, crowds, and others, made it such a big complex project with an amazing result.
Some Lighting examples
Before going to the lighting department I worked as a Character Modeler, taking care of topologies design and also Face Shapes. I did work on some main characters, secondary and crowds, male humans and rats.
Most generic humans and some of the secondary characters were built using the same mesh topology. This allowed us to transfer the facial blendshapes easily from one character to another.
