HT2 - Character FX Break Down

Some very interesting techniques and methods were used on this project. I personally
don't think I have yet seen a traditional animation being pushed into these extremes in
squash and stretch, hence the use of live stretch rest mesh rigs. Just really smart ways of
approaching this problem. Big fat thanks to Casper, Logan, Bagger. Great stuff !!!!

The Jungle Book - tool samples

The Jungle Book - Digital Domain/Virtual production. Responsible for developing and
writing tools for Motion Builder and Maya. I spent more time writing code in MB.
There are some examples of some of the tools I have written for the show. Was great 
experience and steep learning curve. I appreciate the time on it. Made me understand 
the application and Python in more depth. Also, credit to Johnny Zimmerman from DD
whom I had constant discussion about python. Miss that! :)

BattleBorn


Another cool little project done at DD, Video game cinematic for BattleBorn video
game. I was responsible for mocap retargeting and rigging elements in this piece.
We had somewhat finished rigs from the client so we used those to put the animation
on the chars and use them throughout the project. Some additional rigging was required
for the flying bugs. The whole piece is in slow motion. Animators spent quiet a bit
of time making sure there is no visible twitching or snapping. Rendered in UDK 4
at HD resolution and lots of elements were added in composting stage in Nuke.

Deadspace 3

Another cool project I was lucky to be part of. DeadSpace 3 cinematic done @ DD. I was responsible for rigging of the guy and animating some of the shots. The helmet transformation.
I also rigged up the props, from rigging point of view, nothing hard. Some of the parts of the
suit couldn't be just simply skinned because of the nature of the meshes. They had to ride on
top of the surface instead. The helmet animation was pre-animated and then published so animators were able to load the animation on the base rig level to start with. Offset animation
controllers were provided to animate on top of it. We have a sick vRay pipeline @ DD so everything is rendered in vRay. Also, huge "bravo" to vfx guys , Eric and Carl.
