CG Baby Digital Double (2014) - Film Pitch Test -
Subject: A pitch to test a CG baby for various shots
Company: Farm Studios
My role: Complete character creation (Modelling, Blendshapes, Displacements, Shading & Textures, Nhair, Lighting, Rendering and passes.
The film pitch was an 8 weeks test to create a CG baby for close up mouth replacement and distant CG baby facial replacement, i created the model based on photos taken on set, made the necessary blendshapes for animation and created the shading and lighting. I used Mudbox for painting the displacement and other maps, then setup each shot with required passes and render settings and managed the renders.
Originally the complete CG baby face was not created to be seen this close, it was created for distant shots and for close-ups we only blended in the areas needed to make the baby talk (see image 1). During production the interest grew to use a complete cg baby face to give the Director more flexibility and we composited a version with the complete CG face to show the production company what was achievable in the short time and at what point the baby would start to look CG (see image 2). You can see that for such close-ups the baby isn`t quite photo real in full CG but we were quite happy with the results for this quick test and look forwards to getting a seamless integration for the final film.

Olsen Gang 2 - In Deep Trouble (2012) - Feature Film -
Subject: Cartoon characters and vehicles.
Company: A.Film
My role: Modelling efficient characters and vehicles.
I created the five cartoony 'Oil Riggers' from one geometry topology, even thought the proportions and features vary greatly i was able to get them to all work with one flexible mesh and therefore saving time, not only with modelling but also for the texturing and rigging departments. The same approach was used for the 'Divers'.

Digital Double Adriana (2010)
Subject: Anatomical and skin study
My role: Complete character creation (Modelling, Shaders, Textures, 'Shave and a Haircut', Mudbox Displacements, Lighting & Rendering.
This was a study of human skin and anatomical form, the purpose being to create a believable 3d digital double. The textures are all 8k and suitable for close ups as seen below. I created the model with Maya, combined photos with hand painting for the skin maps in Photoshop and generated the shaders with the Mental Ray SSS shaders. I created the bump and displacement maps with Mudbox.

Das zweite Wunder von Loch Ness (2010) - TV / DVD Film -
Subject: 3D character 'Oki'
Company: Farm Studios
My role: Complete character creation (Modelling, Shaders, Textures, 'Shave and a Haircut', Mudbox/Zbrush Displacements, also additional Lighting).
For this film i created all the 3D characters that make an appearance of which there are three, Oki, Opa and Nessie.
'Oki' i had already created for the first film 'Das Wunder von Loch Ness', but we wanted to improve him as much as possible for the second film as technology and processing power had moved forwards. I made over all many finer changes to the Oki character but the most major are the following: The addition of hair most of Okis body and head is covered in fine hair with the more obvious addition of the beard and eyebrows. New eyes, Okis eye this time around are much closer to human eyes (not from the scale) but from the build, size, bulge and refractive index of the Cornea, shape and texture of the Iris and that for the first time Oki has 'Carunculae' (the fleshy pink balls). Rebuild of the skin shader, all Okis skin textures were rebuild/reworked to give a softer, more believable look.

Tod aus der Tiefe (2008-2009) - TV Film -
Subject: 3D creature
Company: Fish Blowing Bubbles
My role: Complete character creation (Modeling, Shaders, Textures, Mudbox Displacements).
I created all the Environments for this Film. The 3D Sets I built were all deep underwater and such environment as chasms, tunnels and caves. With an increasingly aggressive spiky, edgy look the deeper we travel into them. I used Maya for modeling, Mudbox for high rez Displacement and Normal mapping and the final product was rendered with Mental Ray in Maya.

Der Feind im Schatten 'Wallander' (2010) - Cinema Ad -
Subject: Underwater environment
Company: Punchin Pictures
My role: Underwater look, Uboat shaders, lighting.
For this very tight deadline of 7 uboat shots and 6 typewriter shots within 10 days, there was no time for building a detailed Uboat. We purchased a model online which needed some model fixes and some texture upresing. The water look was created with the Mental Ray 'Parti' shader to create a real volume particle depth that the boat could travel through and which light would effect. Subtle light beams were added also creating a shadow beneath the boat as you would expect. The most time consuming shot was the crash scene (shots 2 and 3) as i needed to simulate a convincing collision and particle sand cloud.

Cailler (2006) - TV Advertisement -
Subject: 3D chocolate environment
Company: Glassworks
My role: Senior Modeler, Surfacer, Lighter.
I joined the Glassworks crew to create the look for this commercial, i created a simple chocolate block that would be multiplied many hundreds of thousands of times in order to create the complex landscapes and characters that would inhabit it. The commercial begins with one block and multiplies itself more and more per shot, the last few scenes became quite difficult to render with such massive polygon counts and animated structures. I needed to find ways to make a simple beveled cube even simpler for rendering, so i experimented with various means to lighten up the render load with such techniques as LOD geometry and swapping the distant blocks with 6 Polygon cubes with a bump to fake a bevel (now Mental Ray has this feature built). We managed to get the renders through without any compromise to the look.
