BREAKDOWN-
Silver Lining-
This was my entry for Pixar's Renderman Shipshape contest. I received an honorable mention for it!
i wanted to capture a magical moment above the clouds that this hard working robot on his ship would get to escape to after a days work.
-texturing was done in substance painter.
-shading lighting and rendering was done in maya - using pxrsurface as the base material and the pxruniform integrator in renderman23.
-the clouds and smoke i simulated in houdini and converted to vdb's which i then imported into maya.
-compositing was done in davinci resolve.

the hidden people-
this project was another pixar renderman contest which i also received an honorable mention for!
- this one i really wanted to play with scale. i decided to shrink down the massive model to tiny "fairy" size. my inspiration were the huldufolk, the tiny invisible elves of iceland. along with that i thought it'd be fun for my tiny elf to be friends with a furry giant. in my scene the elf has is eyes close in anticipation of the surprise from his giant friend.
