The first trailer recently released for the movie I’ve been working on at Disney Animation for the past several months! I’m excited to see it in theaters, since a lot of the subtle stylization work isn’t done justice with heavy compression on social media.

Here is a quick portrait project I did for the season. Modeling: Maya/Zbrush Texturing: Mari Groom: XGen Render: Renderman
Here is a small still-life I did on-off for about four days. It’s not perfect, but I think it still came out pretty good. I faced some interesting challenges, some unexpected: Maya / Mari / Houdini (Arnold). The seeds were instanced and used to deflate the body inwards.
